🎵 Steel, Grit and Grace – Short Bio (Press Release / EPK Version)

Steel, Grit and Grace brings classic country and bluegrass together with heartfelt harmony. Based in Northeast Indiana, the band is fronted by Jess Miller (lead vocals, fiddle), Dan Patton (vocals, rhythm guitar), and Tim Johnson (dobro, harmony vocals), with Jonathan Schwartz (mandolin, vocals) and Cecil Fike (upright bass). Their sound recalls the sincerity of the Opry era—Hank Williams, Jimmy Martin—performed with a fresh, acoustic drive. Formed in 2025, SGG delivers warm vocals, tight harmonies, and front-porch storytelling fit for festivals, churches, and community events alike.
