Wayne "The Train" Hancock - Machine Shop in Flint - Friday 11/6

WAYNE "THE TRAIN" HANCOCK LIVE!

The Machine Shop on Friday, November 6th   

 

Since his stunning debut, Thunderstorms and Neon Signs in 1995, Wayne "The Train" Hancock has been the undisputed king of Juke Joint Swing--that alchemist's dream of honky-tonk, western swing, blues, Texas rockabilly and big band. Always an anomaly among his country music peers, Wayne's uncompromising interpretation of the music he loves is in fact what defines him: steeped in traditional but never "retro;" bare bones but bone shaking; hardcore but with a swing. Like the comfortable crackle of a Wurlitzer 45 jukebox, Wayne is the embodiment of genuine, house rocking, hillbilly boogie.

 

Wayne's disdain for the slick swill that passes for real deal country is well known. Like he's fond of saying:

"Man, I'm like a stab wound in the fabric of country music in Nashville.

See that bloodstain slowly spreading?

That's me."

 

Little known fact:

Wayne is the only Bloodshot artist to have had their CD

taken aboard a space shuttle flight.
