Jim Gaudet and The Railroad Boys

Jim Gaudet and The Railroad Boys make one feel as if they’re traveling in time, maybe back to Louisiana in 1963. Mel Guarino of The Bluebillies said, “There is no other band that I know that can sound so modern and yet so classic and nostalgic. It’s at once old timey and timeless, echoing the sound and feel of Hank Williams or the Stanley Brothers, with a hillbilly edge.”

The Railroad Boys philosophy is the basic belief that audience participation leads to a deeper and more meaningful connection. It’s typical to hear the band’s audience enthusiastically whooping it up during songs like their signature shout along titled “So Far So Good” or dancing to “If It Ain’t Cajun.” The RR Boy’s closeness with their listeners is obvious no matter where they perform. They consistently bridge the gap between themselves and their audience, essentially creating one big down home family who’ve been brought together by their shared experience through Jim and The RR Boys songs and musical stories.

The group consists of Jim Gaudet, guitar, singer, songwriter, Sten Isachsen, mandolin and backing vocals, Rich Pagano, piano and backing vocals, Bob Buckley, bass and backing vocals, and either special guests Sara Milonovich or Tucker Callander on fiddle and backing vocals.
