Improvisational, progressive Americana band — Railroad Earth — will return to Montana for two concerts in 2023, performing at The Wilma in Missoula on February 15th and The ELM in Bozeman on February 19th. Missoula’s show will feature support from local bluegrass group The Timber Rattlers, and Bozeman’s show will feature support from local Americana jam band, Hooligans.

If you’ve never had the pleasure of seeing Railroad Earth live, you’re in for a treat. This road-tested, talented group is known for their unique blend of Americana, bluegrass, and folk music. Since 2001, Railroad Earth has built a dedicated fanbase with their healthy infusion of improvisation that keeps every performance fresh and exciting.

Produced by Anders Osborne and primarily recorded in New Orleans, Railroad Earth released their seventh full-length album, All For The Song, in 2022. It’s the first album release since founding member, Andy Goessling’s passing in 2o18. Frontman Todd Sheaffer said:

“We looked at this like a ‘destination’ record. Our past records were all made close to home or, in fact, at home. Andy’s passing was very much in the center of our thoughts and our hearts in the writing and recording of this album. Things were so shaken up that we thought it’d be a benefit to go away from all of the distractions and be together. In New Orleans, there is great food and there are great spirits to be shared. I’ll leave the music part of the equation for others to judge, but we surely succeeded in making the bonding part of the vision come to fruition!”

These guys know how to put on a show, and their spirited hobo jam sound is sure to leave a lasting impression on all who attend. Mark your calendars and don’t wait to get your tickets!
