Without boundary, without destination, this train is departing from the station! Built upon a foundation of grit, grind, and determination, One Ton Trolley delivers Roots Music from the Rustbelt; a genre melt, ripe with the sights, sounds, and smells of Southeast Michigan. Navigating the lines between folk, rock, country, blues, and bluegrass, pioneers traversing forward, honoring what’s come to pass. Like those who paved the way before them: building its rails, building it’s roads, building its automobiles which sprawled the nation; their labor of love is designed with intent, and crafted with care. Conducted by Bill Arnold (Guitars & Vocals), Chris Brown (Bass), Jon Johnson (Drums), and Larry Labeck (Pedal Steel). The Trolley infuses riveting harmonies, lush guitars, and powerful rhythms to conjure imagery of hardworking folk from all walks of life. Complimentary to everybody, while not sounding like anybody, delivering surging currents of Midwest electricity to be felt, held, and moved by. A no-frills, rustic-ride and reminder that what once was, shall be again.
