A New Jersey native with longstanding ties to the Jam scene, Todd Sheaffer made a name for himself as the front man for From Good Homes before founding Railroad Earth with Tim Carbone, John Skehan, Carey Harmon, and Andy Goessling in 2001. The band burst onto the scene immediately with a performance at Telluride Bluegrass the same year and hasn’t slowed down since.

Like The Band before them, the members of Railroad Earth aren’t losing sleep about what “kind” of music they play – they just play it. When they started out in 2001, they were a bunch of guys interested in playing acoustic instruments together. Railroad Earth’s music is driven by the remarkable songs of front-man, Todd Sheaffer, and is delivered with seamless arrangements and superb musicianship.

A long-awaited show, the tone for the evening had been set long before our arrival, and the anticipation of something incredible was heavy in the air. In a theater now almost too small for the band’s ever-expanding repertoire, the boys of Railroad Earth were free to do a little experimentation on this magical evening in Boulder.

On Saturday evening, diehards, newcomers and plenty of Denver’s finest musical minds descended on The Ogden Theatre for the second night of Railroad Earth’s three-night 2013 winter run. Railroad Earth shows have become a fixture along the front-range over the last decade and the band never seems to disappoint.

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.

Part 2 of 2 – Approximately 140 miles west of Denver sits a plot of land at the base of Yarmony Mountain. Tucked away there, right on the banks of the Colorado River, is the picturesque resort known as Rancho Del Rio. Once a year hundreds of beautiful people turn off their cell phones, say goodbye to society, and descend upon this secluded paradise. YarmonyGrass is the reason for this pilgrimage into the Rockies. The brainchild of festival curator Andrew Mconathy; Yarmonygrass has become the premier Jamgrass festival in Colorado.
