"Looking for a soundtrack for rural America? Steppin’ In It provides one. The lyrics paint sobering pictures of shutdown factories on rundown streets, but the music never sags, capturing the spirit of hope and better times to come. There’ll be a tear in your eye, but your foot’ll be tapping."

Toting an ample supply of vintage instruments and a sound that brings listeners back to the days of old-time radio, Steppin’ In It is determined to make a dent in the roots community. Hailing from Lansing, Michigan - the heart of Factory Town, USA- these young men pound out their own brand of roots combining old-time country, swing and blues. Together, they achieve the seemingly impossible task of making the most traditional sounds contemporary playing what Performing Songwriter Magazine calls "some of the liveliest and most rocking acoustic roots music around." Upright Bassist Dominic Suchyta and multi-instrumentalist brothers Andy & Joe Wilson compliment the strong songwriting talents of singer/songwriter Josh Davis, who's haunting vocals paint a picture of rural and urban Michigan breaking its blue-collar back under troubled times.

"I caught Steppin' In It and the place was packed. We're talking groupies here, serious ones, who respond (one might assume) to a rather palpable sexiness at play here. These shiny-tressed young gents are seriously adorable. People crowd the dance floor at Steppin' in It shows. Anyone who's worried about the future of traditional/roots music and its place in a society that watches shows like American Idol can rest assured: things are in very good hands." —The Ann Arbor Observer, Ann Arbor, MI

"Steppin' In It is one of those rare iconoclastic bands which seem to defy all conventional wisdom in that they manage to pack a dance floor with an up dated form of old-time string music."
— The Kalamazoo Express, Kalamazoo, Michigan

"This versatile quartet from Lansing could very well be the breakout band everyone talks about after this year's fest. Playing western swing, folk, blues, bluegrass and more with tremendous style, all are knockout musicians who are as comfortable playing Dizzy Gillespie's "A Night in Tunisia" as Woody Guthrie's "Pastures of Plenty." —Detroit Free Press, Detroit, MI

"The mixture of fun and seriousness is something plenty of bands could learn from"— Vintage Guitar Magazine, Bismark, ND

"Young and old filled the dance floor during an infectious mix of folk, calypso, bluegrass, cajun and blues." — The State News, East Lansing, Michigan

"This excellent roots-oriented Michigan quartet has become a staple of folk societies and festivals, and their acoustic renditions of bluegrass, old- timey country, blues, cajun dance tunes and Texas swing are chock full of poignant work on dobro, harmonica, guitar and fiddle. Their energy level never lacks."
— The Isthmus, Madison, Wisconsin

"Combining originals and traditionals, old-time music with zydeco and blues, Michigan’s Steppin’ In It play some of the liveliest and most rocking acoustic roots music around. On their second release, Last Winter in the Copper Country, they balance hillbilly, Cajun, European folk and blues music with stunning and sensitive musicianship."
— Performing Songwriter Magazine, Nashville, Tennessee

"We've been hearing tales recently about a Lansing, Michigan based folk-rockin', sweet jazz, bluegrass, old-time swingin' quartet with some serious buzz. We took one listen and were hooked, as you will be when you hear Steppin' In It at work. In the Words of Sally Van Meter, producer of their latest release - Hidden In The Lowlands they are 'what would happen if Hank Williams joined forces with Wayne The Train Hancock and a folk band featuring Tom Waits'. Intrigued yet? Well, you will be...they accomplish the seemingly impossible task of making the most traditional sounds contemporary, blending hillbilly rackets with blues rhythms and European folk. It's like subtle musical alchemy. They may claim to just be steppin' in it, but we think they're knee deep in the future of bluegrass." — Telluride Bluegrass Festival, Telluride, CO
