Sixwire is an American country music group from Nashville, Tennessee. The group is composed of Andy Childs (guitar, piano, vocals), Robb Houston (guitar, vocals), John Howard (bass guitar), Steve Mandile (guitar, vocals), and Chuck Tilley (drums, percussion); the name Sixwire was inspired by the six strings, or wires, on an acoustic guitar.[1]
Before the band's formation, Andy Childs recorded for RCA Nashville from 1993 to 1994, releasing a self-titled debut album and charting three singles on the country music charts. In addition, Steve Mandile co-wrote singles for Phil Vassar and Tim McGraw.
Formed in 2000, the band was signed to Warner Bros. Records in 2002.[1] Their debut single, "Look At Me Now", peaked at #30 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) chart.[2] Their self-titled, self-written and self produced album Sixwire peaked at number 38 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart for 2002.

In 2007 Sixwire tried out for Fox's reality show The Next Great American Band and finished runner-up.
