Coal Train Railroad

Coal Train Railroad is a Nashville-based quartet that writes and performs original jazz tunes that celebrate a variety of topics of interest to kids - dirt, snuggling, colds, battling superheroes in one’s underwear, bellybuttons, and days spent at the pool! The CTRR albums are recorded in East Nashville, TN by bassist/composer/producer Chris Donohue (Emmylou Harris/Collective Soul), and feature the charming and playful vocals of Katy Bowser along with a cast of stellar jazz musicians including Jeff Coffin (saxophonist with the Dave Matthews Band) and trumpeter Rod McGaha.

The group followed up its acclaimed debut recording (named a Kids Pick Of 2010 by Time Out New York Kids Magazine) with a 2010 Summer Podcast Series. The newly-recorded material from the podcasts was released December 2010 in a digital EP entitled “Live In Monophonorama”.

2011 has been a milestone year for Coal Train Railroad: in February, the group made its New York debut before a capacity crowd at the prestigious David Rubenstein Atrium at Lincoln Center, and in November CTRR released its second full-length CD entitled "Swings" to great acclaim. In April, the group will announce its 2012 summer performance schedule which includes an exciting debut at another prominent national arts institution.
