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, playing rebellious alt country to vintage loving audiences uninspired by mainstream music.
For years, Nicole played fiddle in Americana bands while working in the film industry as a support artist, sharing a stage with acts like Emmylou Harris, Lost Dog Street Band, and Brothers Comatose. Now she’s started her own damn band, playing original folk songs with a rock’n’roll style that reflects her love of swampy blues, two stepping, desert thunderstorms, and underestimated underdogs who deserve a second chance.
