We're big fans of bluegrass music here at the Bushido, so when opportunity knocked (Dr. Farley called) I decided to answer the door. Before I get the daily diatribe rolling, let me just say that I have never really been a fan of watching bluegrass bands indoors. Although being an old Dead-Head, I have to say that twist-girls with hairy arm-pits and no deoderant should have died with Jerry. Note to all of you dirtsurfers out there, I am cool that you are living the Trustafarian lifestyle, but please at least be European and throw some cologne on for the rest of us with noses. That being said, Railroad Earth did put on a good show. They obviously have talent, but you can only jam-band for so long before you have to rock back to your recorded music to keep the Bushido's interest. Regardless, those old timers can really jam, check them out if you get the chance.
Railroad Earth band members:
The band consists of Todd Sheaffer (acoustic guitar), Tim Carbone (violin), John Skehan (mandolin), Carey Harmon (drums) Johnny Grub (upright bass) and Andy Goessling (acoustic guitar, banjo, dobro, mandolin, flute, pennywhistle and sax).
Local music update:
The Strokes will be playing at The Plex on May 25th, tickets will go on sale next Friday. 96-Wave will announce this later today and they will sponsor tickets via their "Win it before you can buy it" competition next week.
