"The Wheel Sessions” is a jazz performance series hosted in Greenville South Carolina. Performances begin at 7:30 pm, and are held in front of an intimate listening audience.

 

... Now in its eighth year of presenting concerts, 120 sessions to date, The Wheel Sessions has established itself as the premier location for hearing great jazz in the Upstate. Its musicians regularly represent a wide radius, extending to Charlotte, Asheville, Atlanta, and Charleston. Semi-annual special event concerts feature international artists - Jon Faddis, Ignacio Berroa, and James Carter, Jorge Garcia, Marc Black, Louis Hayes, Herlin Riley, Terreon Gully, and Etienne Charles. 

 

The original Wheel Sessions venue, The Wheel, was a shared arts space in the West Greenville Arts District. The Wheel was extremely warm and intimate, with couches, comfy chairs, and seating in the round. After roughly forty sessions in that space, the Wheel was converted into a retail space and the Wheel Sessions had to seek a new home. The sessions have settled on a most awesome location, a photography studio located in the Heddle Industrial Park on Rutherford Rd. Upon entering the studio you feel as though you've crossed a threshold into a NY City underground jazz club! - As of 2026 the Heddle Industrial Park has been sold. We are thankful for an amazing run at the Rutherford Rd studio; it was awesome! -  We are now collaborating with Poe Mill Music for all upcoming shows. PMM is Greenville's coolest new recording studio and performance space. "We've found another gem!"
