Caleb Stine & the Brakeman

The self-described "Americana" sound of this homegrown virtuoso's music encompasses elements of country, folk and fundamental rock 'n' roll. With a bevy of references and metaphors involving trains, the slow but steady pace of the music seems to fit perfectly. Coupled with vividly narrative lyrics, Stine's music is among the best of contemporary folk musicians.
