About the Band
Discography
Reviews

Wilson Banjo Co. offers fresh, original acoustic music with enchanting vocals and captivating instrumentation unlike anything else you’ve heard. The magical arrangements will consume you as you drink in the fascinating melodies and lyrical genius they deliver with their harmonious stories.

Wilson is clear about the vision for the band in that he says “There’s never been a specific theme or sound bucket in mind for the band or our projects, I wouldn’t want to pigeonhole our creativity in that way. We are just really all about the song. When we hear something we like and think we would be good at making it special, we just go for it, and when it’s finished, we hope others will like it too!”

The “Company,” was spearheaded by Steve Wilson in 2015 to promote his custom banjos. With numerous musician staff dedicated to the unique bluegrass and Americana music created by Wilson Banjo Co., the band has continually pushed the boundaries of tradition, redefining the sounds and structure to create their internationally recognized brand.

Following the #1 chart-topping success of MEMORY LANE in 2024, WBC released an EP called LONELY AS IT GETS in the winter of 2025. The main goal of the shorter collection was to introduce a fresh lineup of 2025 touring members. The EP, as well as the single “If You Don’t Climb The Mountain,” once again skyrocketed to the #1 spot on the Roots Chart both Top 50 and Contemporary - as well as topping the South Carolina charts. This latest high ranking chart activity has surely solidified their place at radio and with their loyal fan base the world over.

Wilson Banjo Co is currently in the studio working on their new Pinecastle Records project that will include some very special guests as well as return appearances from prior company releases.
