Tylor & the Train Robbers will release “Hum of the Road,” a new album produced by Challis native and Reckless Kelly musician Cody Braun, on Friday.
And you’ll be able to get a sneak peak of the new album tonight when the group plays at The Argyros in Ketchum.
Tylor Ketchum, who lived in Ketchum for a couple years before moving to Boise, and his band will debut their fourth studio album at 7:30 tonight—Thursday, May 2, at The Argyros. Tickets for the standing room only concert start at $20, available at https://www.theargyros.org/calendar/tylor-and-the-train-robbers. VIP tickets do allow seating in the gallery.
Tylor & The Train Robbers are familiar faces around Ketchum, playing several times in the Wood River Valley each year. The band, formed 10 years ago, includes Ketchum and his two younger brothers—drummer Tommy Bushman and bass player Jason Bushman. Antonio Vazquez plays lead guitar and Rider Soran, pedal steel.
The new album features a little country swing, folk ballad, classic country and, of course, rock and roll sounds.
It has received praise from reviewers like Josh Crutchmer of the New York Times.
“Ketchum has a voice laced with the same western gravelly baritones that tend to stand out as ‘western,’ but his approach is decidedly more rock than country, and his delivery still touches on poetic,” said Crutchmer. “Perhaps no band combines what Western roots music has always been and what it will become quite like the Train Robbers.”
