"Working
with Shut Eye really helped to put The Steel Wheels on the Americana map. Coming
into the album "Red Wing" the band was relatively unknown to radio and
with the help of Shut Eye the album spent 6 weeks in the AMA Americana Radio Top
20 and has spent 9 weeks (and counting) in the top 40. The amount of fans and
exposure to new areas has increased as a result as well as an increase in bookings.
As a small independent label release it has been fun to watch Shut Eye help the
album climb above and hang with the "major" label releases and show
that it is possible. We have no doubt that with a quality album Pete and the folks
from Shut Eye can maximize your release and help it to reach it's full potential.
In the end it's all about getting your music in front of your fans, both new and
old, and that's what Shut Eye does best." --The Steel Wheels

to be predominantly male between the ages of 25-44, having 4+ years of college
