The Railsplitters (USA) - available for Aug.-Sept. 2017

Thanks to Loudon Temple of the UK's Brookfield Knights agency for the news that plans are being made for the third tour in these islands by the Railsplitters from Colorado (above). The date run is from 28 August to 17 September.

The Railsplitters toured Ireland in the second half of June 2015, and in November-December they were part of Rainer Zellner's 7th Bluegrass Jamboree! package on its three-week tour of central Europe. Loudon writes:

The Railsplitters have wowed the crowds at Shetland Folk Festival and were hailed as an outstanding success at the big Gate to Southwell Festival in Notts, too. This footage was recorded when they played a session for the John Murray Show at RTÉ 1 last time they toured Ireland.

Please let us know if you would like to grab them for a show and advise what date/s (one or two options would be very helpful) might be available, to help us with routing considerations.

The very appreciative reviews they have received can be sampled on their press page and on the Brookfield Knights website. Event organisers and venue owners who are interested in booking this rapidly rising band can contact Loudon by e-mail.
