Cast Iron Shoes is a fiddle-driven western folk band from Texas; a must-see live act showcasing an energized retro sound, fantastic musicianship, and brilliant songwriting that speaks to the heart of the underdog.
Fronted by female singer-songwriter and badass fiddle player Nicole Ridgwell, the band wins crowds hearts by reflecting the rebellious energy of vintage loving audiences uninspired by mainstream music.
For years, Nicole was stuck in a band and working in the film industry as a support artist where she couldn’t be creative. Now she’s started her own damn band, playing original folk songs with a rock’n’roll style that reflects her love of storytelling, swampy blues, two stepping, whiskey drinking, record collecting, thunderstorms, and underestimated folks trying to find a second chance, dig themselves out of the hole, and make a new life.
