Biography
Texas to Nashville and back.
Born and raised in Texas, Preston Wimberly began playing Deep Ellum clubs at 16 and continued in Austin while attending the University of Texas. After moving to Nashville in 2011, he signed with Warner Bros. Records as a member of The Wild Feathers.
Wimberly played guitar, pedal steel, and sang harmonies on the band’s first two albums, The Wild Feathers and Lonely Is a Lifetime, and guitar on Live at the Ryman. “The Ceiling” reached the Top 10 at Triple A radio, the debut album reached No. 1 on Billboard’s Heatseekers chart, and the band toured in the United States and Europe, opening for Paul Simon, Willie Nelson, and Bob Dylan.
After returning to Texas, Wimberly joined Jamestown Revival in 2017. He played guitar, pedal steel, and sang harmonies on Live from Largo at the Coronet Theatre, with touring stops including Farm Aid and Red Rocks. He is now based in San Marcos, Texas, recording remote sessions and taking select studio and touring work.

Questions
Before you send the song.
Do you record pedal steel remotely?
Yes. Send the track and a few references. I can keep the part traditional, ambient, spare, melodic, or tucked deep in the arrangement.
What should I send?
A song file or private link, deadline, notes, references, and anything you already know you do not want. Include BPM and key if you have them.
Can you play live dates?
For the right fit, yes. I take select shows, rehearsals, showcases, and touring work on guitar and pedal steel.
Can I hear instrument-specific examples?
Yes. Tell me what you're working on and I'll send available clips that fit: pedal steel, electric guitar, rhythm beds, bass, or textures.
