The Steel Wheels Roll Into Ridgefield for CHIRP Concert
This 4 piece string band plays original soulful mountain music that marries old time musical traditions with their own innovative sound.
RIDGEFIELD, CT -- Concert Happenings in Ridgefield Parks (CHIRP) is welcoming The Steel Wheels to Ballard Park on Thursday, August 2 at 7 p.m.
This 4 piece string band plays original soulful mountain music that springs in part from their shared Mennonite heritage. Based in the Blue Ridge Mountains, with strong commitments to their roots and environs, often huddled around a single mike, they marry old time musical traditions with their own innovative sound.
In the event of rain, the concert will be held at East Ridge Middle School.
CHIRP is a series of free Tuesday and Thursday night summer concerts in Ballard Park located in the heart of Ridgefield. It also sponsors the U.S. Military Band concerts held several times a year at the H.S. auditorium. CHIRP is totally funded by individual and foundation donations as well as contributions from local businesses.
