For more information about the annual awards and a full list of past winners, visit\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/emu.edu\/alumni\/awards\">emu.edu\/alumni\/awards<\/a><\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For <strong>Trent Wagler \u201902<\/strong>, lead singer and songwriter for the folk-rock band The Steel Wheels, music is a powerful way to bring people together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAnybody who\u2019s been around music has had that experience,\u201d he said. \u201cGo to a music festival in some country far away, where you don\u2019t speak the language, and listen.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe words don\u2019t matter so much anymore. You\u2019re not concerned about whether or not they\u2019re on your side of the political aisle or on the team you root for. Instead, it\u2019s just a rhythm we can all move to together.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more than 20 years, Wagler has toured with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thesteelwheels.com\/\">The Steel Wheels<\/a>, performing about 100 shows each year across the United States, Canada, and Europe. During that time, the band has released more than a dozen studio albums, founded the annual <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redwingroots.com\/\">Red Wing Roots Music Festival<\/a>, and earned several Independent Music Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The banjo- and guitar-strumming frontman, who earned degrees in theater and peace, justice, and conflict studies (now peacebuilding and development), credits his EMU education with inspiring him to create music that invites people in, offers fresh perspectives, and leaves room for listeners to find their own meaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTogether, we create something special in a given night, on a weekend, and hopefully, over time,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That commitment to building community through music has earned Wagler EMU\u2019s 2026 Alum of the Year Award. He shares the honor with fellow alumnus and Steel Wheels bandmate <strong>Eric Brubaker \u201901<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBeing recognized for the work that Eric and I are doing, in bringing music that we believe in to people, it means a lot that people have noticed,\u201d Wagler said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At EMU, Wagler sang with the <a href=\"https:\/\/emu.edu\/music\/ensembles\/chamber-singers\">Chamber Singers<\/a> and participated in the Washington Study-Service Year (now the <a href=\"https:\/\/emu.edu\/washington\/\">EMU Washington Semester<\/a>). For his intercultural experience, he spent a year in Gaza teaching English and guitar lessons in a refugee camp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI got to know quite a few really amazing young Muslim Palestinians who were primarily my peers as I lived over there,\u201d he said.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That experience continues to shape his approach to songwriting and storytelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThese are people who love to play games, sing songs, enjoy the taste of fresh fruit, and joke, laugh and cry together,\u201d he said. \u201cTo me, our job is to remember, even when it&#8217;s difficult or unpopular, that the basic human impulses, needs, desires, and joys are universal.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Long before that formative year in Gaza, Wagler grew up in rural Indiana and later graduated from a small high school in south-central Kansas. The son of a Mennonite pastor, he remembers singing harmonies in church from an early age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His parents, <strong>Howard \u201971<\/strong> and <strong>Cathryn \u201971<\/strong>, met at EMU, but Wagler said it was a campus visit and conversation with Professor Emeritus <strong>Dr. Kenneth J. Nafziger<\/strong>, longtime director of the Chamber Singers, that convinced him to enroll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat one visit to campus made all the difference,\u201d Wagler said. \u201cThere were a lot of little steps that brought me here. They may not be the reasons I value EMU most today, but I\u2019m very grateful I ended up here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When he\u2019s not touring, Wagler builds community through music in the Shenandoah Valley. He teaches at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redwingroots.com\/academy\">Red Wing Academy<\/a>, a four-day strings camp for youth and adults held at EMU, hosts and performs at Red Wing Roots Music Festival, serves on the board of the nonprofit <a href=\"https:\/\/rocktownhouseofmusic.com\/\">Rocktown House of Music<\/a>, and has taught in EMU\u2019s music department since 2002.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He said he\u2019s passionate about helping musicians of all ages grow and creating more opportunities for people to make music together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI think that makes a better community and a better world,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>The Steel Wheels will perform a live show on campus at the annual Royal City Celebration from 4-6 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 10,&nbsp;<\/em><em>during Homecoming 2026<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Wagler will share his story at EMU TenTalks, held on Saturday, Oct. 10, at 2 p.m. in Martin Chapel, also during Homecoming.
