New York, NY (Top40 Charts) "Five years ago we started Red Wing," says The Steel Wheels' Trent Wagler. "It's a landmark, yes. But this year especially, it's important we remember the time we have spent together and the way we can draw together in times of trouble or times of joy."

"Five years ago we started this thing we call Red Wing," says The Steel Wheels' Trent Wagler. "It's a landmark, yes. But we've got a lot of these ahead of us. I'm thinking about 20, I'm dreaming 30. We're so grateful and so happy to call everyone who is a part of it family. This year especially, it is important we remember the time we have spent together and the way we can draw together in times of trouble or times of joy. Let there always be at least a little bit more joy."
With 40 bands performing on four different stages, great music lies at the heart of the Red Wing
Roots experience. Festivalgoers will also find great food and numerous other opportunities to enjoy Virginia's great outdoors, including camping, a kids' climbing wall and play area, organized bike rides, group runs and morning yoga sessions beneath the park's famous rock chimneys.
Red Wing
Roots has enjoyed a steady growth in ticket sales since its debut in 2013, and attracted sell-out crowds on Saturday each of the past two years. That's likely to happen again, as organizers remain committed to maintaining the festival's small, family-friendly feel. Red Wing
Roots also values sustainability and community, and has raised thousands of dollars each year for local charities through on-site raffles and auctions.
