Last Train Home at The Tin Pan

For more than a quarter century, Last Train Home has been one of the most fun, creative, and adventurous bands you’ll ever hear, blending rock and country and bluegrass with swing and sambas, Tin Pan Alley and indie, lush pop and barrelhouse blues. Since its debut recording in 1997 right up through its 2022 release Everything Will Be, Last Train Home has followed a path unlike any other. With members in Nashville, Washington D.C., and Bucks County, PA, the band’s live shows are more rare these days than they used to be, but the group continues to create music together. They worked through the pandemic on Everything Will Be, the stunning follow-up to 2020’s stellar Daytime Highs and Overnight Lows release, each member in relative isolation sending their parts from their home studios for producer/mixer/wizard Jared Bartlett to wrangle into a cohesive whole. With the band’s usual trademark horns, pedal steel, rich harmonies, and rhythmic invention, the record features seven originals by band leader Eric Brace, plus four deftly chosen covers.
