Folk & Americana
Late for the Train, an indie-folk string band rooted in the rich traditions of bluegrass, Americana and Celtic, draws inspiration from master poets such as Emmylou Harris, Kate Wolf and Bob Dylan. The Sonoma County quartet’s musical craftsmanship blends tender harmonies and thoughtful lyrics that grapple with the wonder, contradiction and truth of living in our modern age.
In April, this group of longtime friends released its sophomore album, “The Flowers of Yesteryear.” Recorded in a ranch living room overlooking the San Pablo Bay wetlands and a shipping container on a family farm in Santa Ynez, the 10-song LP is an ode to the enduring strength of the human spirit. By painting pictures of resilience during times of despair, a melancholy–meets–optimism theme spans the uplifting, yet poignant record.
In celebration of the release, Late for the Train embarked in June on its first international tour to Ireland. They perform on July 14 at 7 p.m. outside of Three Sheets Brewing Company in Tahoe City for a Concerts at Commons Beach afterparty. | lateforthetrainband.com
