The U-Liners are an Americana band featuring a mix of acoustic and electric instruments and a blend of bluegrass, rock, country, folk, swing, and more. Sweet harmonies and powerful vocal presentations feature male and female voices. Sweet Lorain is an Americana concept album featuring a collection of new original songs that have something to say about the world around us. The U-Liners, now in the 14th year together, have been described as Woody Guthrie meets Merle Haggard meets Jerry Garcia. They practice the art of root-rock music and songs of our time.

You Can't GiddyUp By Sayin' Whoa!, a western swing upbeat fun song, reminds us that we need to get busy solving some big problems like income inequality and climate change. The title track, Sweet Lorain, is about Lorain, Ohio and is where Joe Uehlein's story starts. Water For Gold tells of Marcello Rivera, assassinated for protesting the destruction of the water supply by gold mining companies from the North. Morning Song invites us all into human solidarity. And Voices tells us that the voices of the future are calling back to us and asking that we might see beyond our own time.
