In a career that has given rise to more than a decade’s worth of

fine-tuned, highly anticipated and wonderfully received music, the

Derailers continue to build the relationship between song, listener and

dance floor. Each album has been a mix of well-crafted original songs

and cover songs so thoughtfully chosen and so representative of the

band, that fans think they are as original as the band themselves.



Challenged by their fans to create a sound that mirrors the shuffle of

happy boots on a hardwood floor, the Derailers have fed the hungry

dancehall crowds with their classic country beats and a 60s pop

sensibility. Fans continue to show their appreciation and admiration

with requests for encores long after the last drink has been served.



In terms of sound, the Derailers have gotten smoother with age. As

Hofeldt puts it, “I think we have retained the path we are going for.

But we have certainly grown as players and allowed other influences to

come in.” Their music celebrates the legacies of Buck Owens, George

Jones, Roy Orbison, Elvis Presley, Charlie Rich and the Beatles, while

still being on the edge of today’s country music. Hofeldt describes his

view of country music as, “finding out what love really is, versus what

you thought it was when you were a kid.” For all the fans of the

Derailers, love is all you need.
