Some bands play music. Late for the Train makes you feel like you’ve found something you didn’t know you were looking for.

Born from a shared love of American roots music, this West Coast touring band is part songwriter’s storybook and part bluegrass adventure — the kind of live show that uplifts the spirit and rouses the soul. They’ve played the Strawberry Music Festival right up the road in Grass Valley, sold out the Valhalla Theater in South Lake Tahoe, and in 2024 took their music all the way to Ireland performing at the Westport Folk & Bluegrass Festival and on national Gaelic TV.

Two studio albums. A dedicated West Coast following. And press that says it better than we can — Pacific Sun Magazine wrote that their voices blend like gypsy souls who’ve found a home in each other’s musical arms.

We are incredibly proud to bring them to Historic Main Street. Visit colfaxlive.com to learn more about Late for the Train and see who else is taking the stage this summer.
