Sixwire’s 25th Year Anniversary Show | The Franklin Theatre
Ever since their debut on Warner Brothers Records, the members of SIXWIRE have been one of the busiest, hardest-working bands to come out of Nashville. Not only have these guys played on countless hit records, but they’ve also written hits for many top artists and toured with literally hundreds of stars.
Comprised of guitarist Steve Mandile, bassist John Howard, drummer Chuck Tilley, and keyboardist Steve Hornbeak and guitarist/vocalist Andy Childs, SIXWIRE derived their name from a band-invented slang term for a guitar, fitting for a group fronted by two guitarists.
They are the “go-to“ guys for television. Collectively, SIXWIRE members have been seen on television programs that include American Idol, ABC’s Nashville, FOX’s The Next Great American Band, USA Network’s Nashville Star, CMT’s Can You Duet, CMT’s Next Superstar, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, The Late Show with David Letterman, Saturday Night Live, The Today Show, Good Morning America, The View, The Grammy Awards, CMT’s Flame-Worthy Awards, The ACM Awards, The CMA Awards, and many more. They also serve as the house band for the Charlie Daniels Volunteer Jam and Academy Of Country Music’s “Party For A Cause” featuring the top stars in Country Music.
In 2019, SIXWIRE served as the first-ever “house band” for the NFL Draft on ESPN, which took place in Nashville. Other recent television appearances include the All-American New Year’s Eve on FOX, and as a musical guest during the US Figure Skating Championship on NBC and Peacock. SIXWIRE returned to perform pre-game entertainment at SUPER BOWL 56 in Los Angeles, and SUPER BOWL 57 in Glendale, Arizona.
Charitable entertainment events that SIXWIRE has been involved in have raised nearly $30 million for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. SIXWIRE has also helped raise funds for Scott Hamilton’s Cancer Research Foundation, Convoy of Hope, American Cancer Society, and many others.
