about

Webster’s Wheel is the acoustic indie music of internationally published Alabama songwriter Daniel Lee Webster, whose poetic lyricism explores the complexities of human nature with a distinctive, intimate voice.

A songwriter for more than two decades, Webster has spent the last six years as Webster's Wheel, releasing five full-length albums and six additional singles, performing throughout the Southeast, Southwest, and East Coast. His music can be heard on college radio stations across the United States and has reached international audiences, as well. His song “Dogs Don’t Cry” is featured on the Belgian television series Milo and was selected for the official Gems on VHS Spotify playlist. Indie Pulse Music describes Webster's Wheel as "the real deal." Webster is joined by Marie Robertson on backup vocals.

You don’t have to be the biggest folk fan in the world to know that when Webster’s Wheel enters the studio to make music, they mean big business for the genre.
-IndieShark Music Magazine

It takes more than strong lyrics and a couple of catchy tunes to make a folk album extraordinary... in short, it takes someone like the exquisitely talented Webster’s Wheel.
-IndiePulse Music Magazine

Like a cool autumn breeze gusting through a solemn, empty field, the instrumental melody that greets us is only a small sampling of what’s soon to arrive.
-Hollywood Digest

In the case of Webster’s Wheel, the traditional music of Americana and those who made the aesthetic everything it is today couldn’t be much more accessible and easy for us to experience.
-Melody Maker Magazine

Webster’s Wheel is seemingly brimming with the kind of melodic color that you can’t find very often anymore.
-Pop Icon Magazine

Daniel Lee Webster and Marie Robertson are responsible for songs that have grit and grace galore present in every musical turn and each line.
-The Indie Source

Robertson and Webster have a clear loyalty to acoustic music born out of personal recognition that it’s an ideal vehicle for their songs rather than catering to fashion.
-Top Buzz Magazine

The straightforward nature of the songs lightly disguises the emotional depths explored by the duo and there’s more to the arrangements than meets the ear.
-Skope Magazine

Rustic but capable of stinging us with just as powerful a melody as anything electrified, the strings that Webster’s Wheel use in making their music so accessible to fans take center stage once again.
-Vents Magazine

There’s something more passionate and invested in their performance here that tells me they’re the real deal.
-IndiePulse Music Magazine

Webster’s Wheel captures the Alabama twosome sounding more divinely in touch with the medium than ever before.
-Bollyhoo Magazine

With a harmony that could be celebrated from their home state of Alabama to the rocky shores of Maine and sunny beaches of California the same, Webster’s Wheel hit us with the most affectionate of melodic showings.
-Music Existence

To be honest, I’ve been less than impressed with a lot of the most-lauded singer/songwriters within the present folk movement taking shape in the American underground, but personally I think that Webster's Wheel is as close to gold as it gets.
-Colin Jordan

With a freewheeling lack of inhibition driving every plucked string out of the speakers and into the air around us, Webster’s Wheel make it clear exactly what they’re all about.
-The Hollywood Digest

In response to the competition, Webster’s Wheel are hitting 2021 as hard as they can with the beautifully simple Made in Sunshine.
-Too Much Love Magazine

No matter which one of the songs you’re listening to, you’re guaranteed to find two amazing elements – vocals and guitar. The indie duo flirt with an ebbtide of harmonies as evocative as it is deeply emotional.
-MobYork City

In Alabaman folk duo Webster’s Wheel, folkies and fans of simplistic melodicism everywhere are almost certain to find solace amidst our stormy modern times.
-IndieShark Music Magazine

Against a backdrop of gilded string play, the likes of which has been mostly absent from airwaves, Webster’s Wheel proceeds to unveil some of the smartest and most enigmatic verses you’ll hear.
