Railroad Earth is one of America’s greatest bands playing today, plain and simple. They sing of our nation’s changing landscape and social ills with a commitment reminiscent of Woody Guthrie, while interpolating instrumental timbres that could have been pulled from Celtic or Cajun culture. And as anyone who has caught them live will attest, their concerts are imbued with the fire-in-the-belly passion of straight-ahead, blue collar rock & roll. Then there is the newest album from the New Jersey sextet, which is the most cohesive embodiment of their myriad gifts to date—hence the decision to simply call it Railroad Earth—showcasing nine new selections that draw strength and inspiration from an acknowledgment of our shared past, while also embracing new ideas and celebrating diversity… just like America when she is at her best.

Shoot, Sunflower, I have to work.
Lawrence is out for me, but Omaha is do-able.

If you wanna come up for that one you can crash at my house if you're not allergic to cats and indifferent housekeeping.

Why is it that these bands play at venues that show starts at 8 or so and they have an opening band and then end the show at 11:30 or so. You pay 20 bucks and get to see one set. At least that is how the Pageant in St. Louis runs . Just saw Mofro and it was a good show but he played one set and we got to have two opening bands. Saw LOS at the Great America and it was the same shi@. Got to see Zavier Rudd and he played for about an hour+ for 25 bucks. Had an opening band and he ended his show at 10:20...started a bit after 9. Just annoyed at paying 20+ to see a band and you get 1 set...only YMSB shows are billed as an evening. Why not all bands? RR Earth is in St. Louis at the Pageant and don't want to drop the money on tic and over priced beer for one fricken set...but want to see them.:evil:

Not allergic, but might have a travelling companion with me, if that's OK. (You know him)

Let the countdown begin... Have fun in Lawrence tonight, then hopefully we'll see some of you in Omaha Thursday! Tickets are going quickly. Some should remain at the door, but if you don't want to chance it, visit and snag some today. Can't Wait!!

FYI... No opener in Omaha. Two full sets of RRE starting around 8pm. Cheers!
