LAST TRAIN HOME

A mainstay of the Washington, D.C., music scene for more than twenty-five years, Last Train Home blends rock, country, bluegrass, swing, Tin Pan Alley pop, and barrelhouse blues into a sound that has drawn comparisons to the Mavericks, Wilco, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, and Los Lobos. Led by former Washington Post music writer Eric Brace, the band has released recordings from 1997 through a 2025 EP, and continues to perform with a lineup that typically includes horns and pedal steel guitar, supporting lyrically rich songs.
