Steel Wool features TR Kelley, Nel Applegate, Randy Hamme and Tim Mueller.

NEHALEM — Steel Wool, a harmony-loving rock band, will perform at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 8 at the North County Recreation District’s Performing Arts Center.

Doors open at 7 p.m. at the NCRD, located at 36155 Ninth St. Tickets are $10 at the door or $9 in advance, at www.steelwoolband.com

Based in Eugene, Steel Wool performs original songs in the familiar style of folk-rock while spinning on the edges of funk and traditional Zimbabwean mbira music. Inspired by CSN, the Eagles and Paul Simon, Steel Wool performs three-part harmony, inventive bass lines, danceable grooves and world beat percussion.

The band includes Tim Mueller as songwriter, lead vocalist and guitar player; TR Kelley on bass and vocals; Nel Applegate on mbira, djembe, percussion and vocals; and Randy Hamme on drums.

At the concert, band members will perform their hits (“Fat Jesus on a Bicycle,” “My Country Fair”), their newest mbira tunes (“When the Day is Done,” “Flower”), their most rocking electric guitar songs (“Let’s Dance,” “Electro Sheep Therapy”), and stories of love and loss.
