About:
Didn't See It Comin' - The Debut Album!

The Railways debut album is set for release on July 3, 2012! "Didn't See It Comin'"displays a thrilling new brand of soulful rock 'n" roll that calls to mind legendary rock bands of the past. With a new contemporary vision and red hot musicianship, The Railways are positioned to rise to the top of the ranks amongst peers like Jack White, The Black Keys, and Gov't Mule. They have successfully combined the soul-dripping influences of Bobby 'Blue' Bland and Donny Hathaway with the raw rock power of Led Zeppelin and the Allman Brothers Band. Like those bands, the active ingredient in the Railways 'cocktail of sound' is really strong songwriting. Few bands come out of the gates with such a potent catalog of original material. It's time for the world to get behind The Railways and help this music reach a mass audience. Play it loud!

Biography

The Railways debuted at the House Of Blues in Los Angeles California on December 31, 2011. They craft a thrilling new brand of bluesy Rock n' Roll that should be the soundtrack to a Quentin Tarantino flick. It's fearless, soul-driven music that doesn't flinch in a gunfight. A set of original songs was unveiled at the Viper Room in February 2012. The band has since performed on stage with friends Duane Betts and Planet Of The Abts (Featuring members of Gov't Mule). Their debut album "Didn't See It Comin" was released in July 2012!

He has backed country music icon Billy Ray Cyrus and toured across the United States with Austin, Texas alt-country rockers Shurman.
