<i>Austin Chronicle. </i>They will be making their way across the country through November and December hitting Nashville, Dallas, Austin, Chicago and NYC along the way.
<b>Wheeler Brothers</b> are touring in support of their debut release, <b><i>Portraits</i></b><i>
</i>(Bismeaux Records), which dropped this summer and features sing along, guitar driven jams with clear, crisp vocals and plenty of down-home Southern twang. Check out the brand new video for their aptly titled track
<b>“Home for the Holidays” </b>featuring actor <b>Art LaFleur</b> (The Sandlot, Field of Dreams) and directed by
