   About The Trainwreks
Photobucket

The Trainwreks are a five piece "Dirty-Tonk" band that formed in 2004 in Asheville, NC. Going through many personnel changes over the following years, the strongest collective to date came together in the winter of 2007 consisting of some of the most versatile musicians in Asheville's burgeoning music scene. Dirty-Tonk consists of many of the members collective influences, ranging from gypsy jazz, outlaw country, western swing, reggae, to blues, funk, and rock. We have something for the whole family!

Here's a quote from a review of our record:
"...despite the half-joking posturing about booze and girls, there’s a huge amount of high-caliber musicianship going on." -Bold Life
