Old School Freight Train serenely combines thought-provoking lyrics with captivating melodies, soulful vocals, virtuosic instrumentals and imaginative arrangement. Blending bluegrass, jazz, latin, and celtic, OSFT offers a unique musical experience which the Boston Globe calls "the Next Big Thing," and the Chicago Tribune claims is "accessible but uncompromising in creativity."
Old School Freight Train is comprised of the distinctly smooth vocals and songwriting talent of guitarist Jesse Harper, the ecstatic mandolin stylings of Pete Frostic, the poetic fiddling of Nate Leath and backbone upright bass of Darrel Muller. Their synergistic interaction and contagious musical passion has made them the new acoustic band to watch.
David Grisman said "After forty years of recording acoustic music, it's not very often that a new band catches (and keeps) my attention. Old School Freight Train has done that and more. Their finely-crafted tunes and innovative arrangements bring creativity, taste and wit to a broad spectrum of contemporary styles, vocal and instrumental, all firmly rooted in many traditions. They are certainly an emerging force to reckon with in today's wide world of acoustic music." Grisman invited the band to record at his Dawg Studios, manned the production & recording and put out their album on Acoustic Disc, Grisman's acclaimed independent label.
