ALL ABOARD! Railroad Earth w/ Split Lip Rayfield - April 1st

[radkadillac]

This is no April Fools joke. Railroad Earth with special guest Split Lip Rayfield will be arriving in the 'Good Life' Wednesday April 1st to take the stage at Slowdown in Omaha! Last time RRE came to town they soldout Knickerbockers. By the way ticket sales have been going, I wouldn't wait for the last minute if you want to get down with the rest of the "Hobos" at Slowdown. This is going to be a rowdy night of good tunes and good people. We couldn't be more excited for the return of Railroad Earth especially with Split Lip Rayfield opening the show. This will definitely be a night to remember... ALL ABOARD - Choo Choo!

Railroad Earth Bio:
Railroad Earth’s music is driven by the remarkable songs of front-man, Todd Sheaffer, and is delivered with seamless arrangements and superb musicianship courtesy of all six band members. They can jam with the best of them, but they’re not a jam band. They’re bluegrass influenced, but they use drums and amplifiers (somewhat taboo in the bluegrass world). RRE bristles about being lumped into any one “scene.” Not out of animosity for any other artists: it’s just that they don’t find the labels very useful. According to fiddle player Tim Carbone, “We use unique acoustic instrumentation, but we’re definitely not a bluegrass band – so that doesn’t fit. And I think the term ‘jam band’ probably refers more to the fans than to the band. I think these fans just like live music.” When the band does elect to “comment” on a song via an extended improvisation, they really cook – and have received the approval of no less than Grateful Dead bass player Phil Lesh, who knows a thing or two about jamming.

Railroad Earth started out in 2001, a bunch of talented friends interested in strumming some rootsy music together. It began rather informally, but then picked up the pace when their five song demo earned them a spot at the prestigious Telluride Bluegrass Festival that June. Taking advantage of the opportunity, they quickly recorded five more songs, combined it with their demo tracks and released it as their debut, 2001’s The Black Bear Sessions. That debut piqued the interest of Sugar Hill Records, who signed them and released two highly acclaimed albums, Bird In A House in 2002 and The Good Life in 2004.

Since then, they’ve cultivated a huge fan base, wound up by the band’s unique acoustic hybrid sound. Railroad Earth has come to thrive in a live setting; as evidenced on their 2006 live double album Elko (SCI Fidelity Records, 2006).
