Details:
The railroad revolutionized for more than just commerce. It enabled people and ideas to travel across America at speeds previously unseen. The railroad became romanticized, developed its own mythology, and left a massive mark on traditional American music. In this program, listeners will be presented with an array of traditional songs centered around the railroad, as well as songs in which the rail played a significant role in their evolution.
This program will feature a full band performing traditional American train songs!
The band will feature Keala Venema (Futuretime String Band, Whorled, Candid Antics) on fiddle, Vince Russo (Appleseed Collective, Pontiac Trailblazers) on washboard, and Jerry Wenger (Red Thyme, Mark Lavengood) on upright bass.
