About The Train Wrecks
Savannah,
Ga.’s own local-boys-done-good, The Train Wrecks offer up
raucous and rollicking Americana that’s as equally indebted
to the traditionalist legacies of A.P. Carter and Johnny
Cash as it is to the forward-thinking rock & roll of Wilco
and Lucero.
Local reviewers have been “blown away” by the
band’s live shows, and the Wrecks have been officially
dubbed “The Hardest Gigging Band in Savannah”, a testament
to the love and dedication they have for their music.
The
band recently completed the recording of their debut CD
“Whiskey & War”, and released it in the fall of 2007. The
reviews rolled in! The Connect dubbed the record “simply a
revelation….the kind of simultaneously slick and raw record
which Ryan Adams regularly cranks out to much critical
acclaim”, while Murmur Magazine called it the “best record
to come out of Savannah in years”.
The band is blushing!
The
Wrecks have spent the summer headlining club dates and
playing festivals throughout the southeast, and are in the
midst of planning a full-scale tour in the new year.
The
Train Wrecks are a band in the truest sense: All the members
are involved in the writing and arranging of the songs, and
each member plays multiple roles during their high-energy
live shows.
Jason Bible (guitar, voice, harmonica) is an
award-winning singer-songwriter hailing from Ft. Worth, TX.
Carolina-raised Markus Kuhlmann (drums, voice, guitar) and
Savannah homeboy Eric Dunn (elec. bass, upright bass, voice)
have split their time in The Train Wrecks with regional
alt-rock favorites Hazel Virtue.
Stuart Harmening (dobro,
banjo, guitar) is a studio session player who also picks
with bluegrass juggernaut The Jimmy Wolling Band. All four
bring their own unique perspective and talents to the table
to create a singular musical vision, one that they hope to
bring to as many people as possible as they continue to tour
tirelessly and passionately. |
