Train kept a rollin…

I know gigs are hard to come by these days.  The recession has hit live music hard.  Musicians have to be creative these days to get their music heard.  Well this is a very interesting idea.  Rock your tunes on a commuter train.

thetraintracks.org is a site where live performances captured on a train are viewed and voted on.  There is a new performance each week. It appears that his is sponsored by the metro Phoenix light rail although I’m not sure..  I guess this is an attempt to encourage people to ride the train.  In return, the riders get some music. 

My favorite is Mikel Lander and Meredith Moore of the Sugar Thieves.  She’s got a fantastic voice and he tears it up on the dobro.  I would love to listen to them while commuting to work.
