Dave recently had the pleasure of speaking with longtime music writer Dan Taylor from Santa Rosa Press Democrat about our recent video release of “Bottom of the World.”
Dan found a way of eloquently articulating something we’ve grappled with ourselves over the years. It’s a question many contemporary artists face: how do you describe music that borrows from multiple genres but fits neatly into none?
We thoroughly enjoyed reading Dan’s thoughts. You can check out the full article here.
“Based on the instruments played by the Sonoma County quartet Late for the Train — fiddle, upright bass, guitar and mandolin — you might assume it’s a traditional bluegrass band.
That’s not how it sounds.
In a way, the band’s music almost sounds like musical theater, with a variety of arrangements and thoughtful, literate lyrics.” -Dan Taylor, Santa Rosa Press Democrat
