A.k.a. Joseph William Wheeler III
US bluegrass banjo and pedal steel guitar player. Died December 20, 2018 at the age of 62.

His banjo was featured on the first album from Lonesome River Band, I Guess Heartaches Are in Style This Year, on which he also served as producer and recording engineer. That project was recorded in Wheeler’s studio, co-owned with his father, Joe.
