High Carbon Steel is a budding country/americana group based out of Roane County TN. Cory, Dawson, and Nathan have been playing covers of great artists across these genres together for years. Now they’ve written great music of their own and are taking it (along with the songs that inspire them) anywhere people will listen.

The boys met in their teens and quickly discovered how well they fit together. Mostly just picking in the comfort of their homes, occasionally they would find an opportunity to play for family or a group of friends. Upon founding the group in 2022, they were ready to get out of the living room and into the ears of whoever would appreciate their music. Now they are playing events all over East Tennessee and beyond!

The group plays music spanning across the decades from country, and bluegrass legends such as Merle Haggard, The Seldom Scene, George Jones, Blue Highway, and many many more. They are also very invested in the current revival of country music coming from artists such as Tyler Childers, Sturgill Simpson, Charley Crockett, etc. They’re just getting into the world of writing music of their own, taking inspiration from all the artists that they’ve covered for years, as well as music from outside the genre (Rock, Blues, Soul, Pop, etc.). This blend gives them a sound of their own that is still growing every day!
