It’s like Judy Collins, Joan Baez or Joni Mitchell had a baby with the Flying Burrito Brothers.” - Fred LeFebvre, (92.9 WSPD, iHeartRadio) Chloe & the Steel Strings is a 6-piece Cosmic Americana band from Toledo, Ohio, creating a new generation of psychedelic folk rock for artists and dreamers everywhere. Led by husband and wife duo Chloe and Connor Ward, the band is built on a leap of faith — after turning down medical school, Chloe chose to pursue a music career instead, bringing her band of kindred spirits along for the ride. With trippy, nostalgic sounds and lyrics that speak to the soul, Chloe & the Steel Strings isn't just a band — it's a community for those brave enough to follow their hearts. Their highly acclaimed debut album Burn Bright (2022) captured the spirit of self-discovery, while their latest album Never Coming Back (2025) promises even deeper journeys into the spirit of creative adventure.
