Horn O'Plenty Harmony: Railroad Earth's Annual Thanksgiving Tradition and Bluegrass Extravaganza at the Sherman Theater
Why does Railroad Earth feel like a Colorado band? Is it the style of music they play that suits a large majority of the musical culture in the Rocky Mountain state?
Railroad Earth has always taken a humble approach to being a band. Beyond their impressive light show – practically a necessity for a band in the “jamgrass” scene – the New Jersey group has a no-frills approach to performing, opting to let their musicality and songs speak for themselves over any flashy production.
Railroad Earth visited some familiar territory last week for a three-show run that started in Lake Tahoe and concluded with a pair of nights at the UC Theater in Berkeley, CA.
When you place a band with that dedication to craft in a venue with a deep commitment to acoustics sightlines and spacing you have the foundation for a flawless night of music.
They opened up the evening at The Vic Theatre with Edge of the World an ordinary Cornmeal song with an ambition to fall off the edge of the world to see what happens next.
