Grand Folk Railroad
Grand Folk Railroad brings on the fun with a quirky, eclectic/eccentric mix of original tunes, forgotten favorites, 60s and 70s pop gems, one-hit wonders, old-school country, and contemporary folk. With a make-every-note-count approach to performing, a vast eclectic repertoire, and questionable regard for musical traditions, Grand Folk Railroad blurs the lines between pop, rock, folk and singer/songwriter genres.
