Band Members

Meggie Rodgers: Lead vocals and fiddle

Jimmy Hall: Guitar and harmony slayer

Meggie and Jimmy have been pickin' and grinnin' together since 2013.  They started Sweet Lou's Sour Mash in Seattle and played well over a hundred live shows throughout the Pacific Northwest, California and Nevada.  Since moving to Pittsburgh in 2023, Meggie has taken lead to start a new project featuring original music, tight harmonies, and Jimmy periodically slaying on the electric guitar.  A rotating cast of professional bass players round out Iron Appalachia's live performances.
