Railroad Earth

Railroad Earth, the celebrated New Jersey septet, skillfully blends eloquent songcraft, bluegrass soul, and rock ‘n’ roll spirit with members Todd Sheaffer, Tim Carbone, John Skehan, Carey Harmon, Dave Speranza, Matt Slocum, and Mike Robinson. For over two decades, they have enchanted audiences with their unpredictable live performances and refined studio albums, beginning with their signature sound on 2001’s The Black Bear Sessions. Notable for selling out prestigious venues like Red Rocks Amphitheatre and organizing the annual Hangtown Music Festival and Hillberry: The Harvest Moon Festival, Railroad Earth's music has earned accolades from industry veterans like David Fricke of Rolling Stone, American Songwriter, Glide Magazine, and NPR, solidifying their status as a revered jam-grass ensemble.

Beyond amassing tens of millions of streams, Railroad Earth's achievements include setting John Denver's lyrics to music on the 2019 EP, Railroad Earth: The John Denver Letters, a project commissioned by the John Denver Estate. Praised for their dynamic performances and versatile musicality, Railroad Earth's journey continues to resonate with fans and critics alike, with NPR noting, “Well-versed in rambling around, as you might expect from a band named after a Jack Kerouac poem, the New Jersey-built jam-grass engine Railroad Earth has let no moss grow under its rustic wheels.”
