"I’ve been writing, playing and listening to bluegrass music more years than I care to count. Over the years I’ve found there are some bands that grab onto to you and don’t let go. These bands play the music with such passion and a genuine love you just can’t ignore them. Such a band is Republik Steele! When they strap on their instruments you are going to hear bluegrass with “all the hair left on it”. The music is going to reach down deep and touch your soul because it is real. Being from Elkhorn City, KY these boys have lived it….and you can tell. So, if you have the chance to hear Republik Steele strap yourself in and buckle your chinstrap. This is the “real deal”!!!!

"I have been around Bluegrass music in one way or another for some time. I have to say that Republik Steele is not only a great band but they are also a great bunch of guys. If you are looking for a soulful, energetic and entertaining band look no further than Republik Steele." - Michelle Wallace - Morehead State Public Radio
"We’ve had the opportunity to see these guys perform (most recently in Surgoinsville, Tn. at Belamy Hardware) and we’re here to tell you they put on one whale of a show! If you see the name Republik Steele at a bluegrass festival or show near you, buy a ticket! It’s that simple. When they pick & sing, you’re listening to the real deal." - Linda Wright & Kenneth Berrier - 90.7 FM WEHC / LocalGrass Radio
"Gonna be some great music from some great guys. This band and their unique sound is so original. Can't wait for everyone to hear the new project!" - Steve Gulley
"After
seeing Republik Steele live a few times I can honestly tell you
that these boys have a ton of heart for the music. They put 100%
effort into what they do. I look forward to seeing how far they go
and what they do next. It will be a fun ride!" - Don
