Bluegrass-flavored Americana group Railroad Earth brough its 25th anniversary tour to the FM Kirby Center in Wilkes Barre on April 23.
The New Jersey band has come a long away from its early days, when it performed in rooms like the since-shuttered Murray’s Inn in Wilkes-Barre and has since sold out Red Rocks and launched its own festivals.
In 2019, the John Denver Estate tapped RRE to put music to Denver’s lyrics for the EP “Railroad Earth: The John Denver Letters.” NPR said of the band: “Well-versed in rambling around, as you might expect from a band named after a Jack Kerouac poem, the New Jersey-built jam-grass engine Railroad Earth has let no moss grow under its rustic wheels.”
RRE’s upcoming shows include an engagement at Levon Helm Studios in Woodstock on Sunday, May 10.
