Railroad Earth Tour With New Bassist February and March

Railroad Earth


Railroad Earth is considered everything from jam-grass to bluegrass, to Americana to a jazz influenced string band. The original five members of Railroad Earth are welcoming new bassist Andrew Altman from Georgia. Having played in the Codetalkers and Blueground Undergrass, Altman isn't a stranger to the “Hobo Scene."



The Codetalkers opened up for Railroad Earth a few years ago in North Carolina. When Altman heard that Johnny Grubb had departed from Railroad Earth and auditions were being held a month later, he traveled up to the Garden State and met with the Railroad Earth family and had a killer audition, landing him the spot. With the new bass player, Railroad Earth is working on a new CD and has announced a number of tour dates for February and March.
