The Railsplitters: A New Brand of Blue Grass

The Railsplitters joined us on The Music Room to talk about how the band’s sound has changed form traditional blue grass at the start of The Railsplitters 5 years ago, to their newer sound showcased in their newest album Jump In. We also learned about their upcoming European tour, and interesting places the band has performed before.
