Albany's own Railroad Boys deliver a dynamic blend of hard-driving, traditional mountain music fused with Gaudet's diverse contemporary songwriting. Gaudet's percussive rhythms are the perfect springboard for his high-lonesome voice, and the melodies and authentic three-part harmony singing is downright infectious, inspiring sing-alongs, whoops, and standing ovations. During the past four years they've been making mainstage appearances at the country's best bluegrass festivals coast to coast, including Gray Fox, Joe Val, IBMA, and Wintergrass. The Railroad Boys are Jim Gaudet on guitar and vocals, Bobby Ristau on bass and vocals, Sten Isachsen on mandolin and Scott Hopkins on banjo with special guest Tucker Callander on fiddle.
The evening begins with the premiere of a one-act play, Lucky Day, written by Anthony R. Pezzula based on Jim's original song of the same name. The play tells the story of a man who experiences a life changing moment as a result of a routine visit to a local diner where he encounters a very perceptive waitress. Lyrics from Jims songs are cleverly interspersed throughout the dialogue of the play, which will be followed by The Railroad Boys in concert.
