Iron Appalachia is high-energy bluegrass, American folk, and original music featuring fiddle and vocal harmonies from Pittsburgh, PA.
Band Members
Meggie Rodgers: Lead vocals and fiddle
Jimmy Hall: Guitar and harmony slayer
Meggie and Jimmy have been pickin' and grinnin' together for over a decade. They started their first band Sweet Lou's Sour Mash in Seattle and played well over a hundred live shows throughout the Pacific Northwest, California and Nevada. Since moving to Pittsburgh in 2023, Meggie has taken lead to start this new project featuring her original music and Jimmy periodically slaying on the electric guitar. A rotating cast of professional bass players round out Iron Appalachia's live performances. You can also catch Jimmy in Moose Lodge Revival and Blue Diggity. In addition, Meggie plays classical music with the Tuesday Musical Club's String Ensemble.
