About the Band...

Train Wreck was formed in February of 1998 in Bisbee, Arizona. A coming together of veteran musicians, the band was an immediate area favorite. With a sense of ease and authenticity that very few can match, the members of Train Wreck convey their love of performing and appreciation for their fans whenever they take the stage. They play a diverse array of music - throw in a few original tunes and there's a good time just waiting to happen! Come out and Dance!
