It’s been a milestone year for Railroad Earth, so much so that we’re going to be hard pressed to fit everything in one tight release, but we’re going to try...
First off, Palladia, Viacom’s high definition music channel, has set a Saturday, July 25th 9 PM ET/6 PM PT premiere date for Railroad Earth: Live At Red Rocks- an hour-long special excerpted from the band’s first performance DVD release of the same name. The special will encore on Palladia that night at Midnight ET/9 PM PT. Dropped earlier in the year, the DVD chronicles RRE’s full sophomore gig at the famed Colorado amphitheater in August of 2014 with a healthy span of the band’s 13 year, 7-album career. See the full trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSthr--YsR4
The Palladia special will air numerous times throughout the summer leading up to Railroad Earth’s 3rd roll up on Red Rocks set for Friday, September 18 (with special guests Snarky Puppy). The show will be followed by a play at the Boulder Theatre 9/19. Tickets to the Boulder Theatre show will only be available as a two-day pass that includes the Red Rocks show.

More immediately, RRE were in Nashville this week for a few performances with GRAMMY award winning vocalist, songwriter and revered guitarist, Warren Haynes in support of Haynes’ upcoming Americana solo album Ashes And Dust, a collaborative recording set for release on Concord Records on July 24th (see below for show details). Haynes recorded over 30 songs with Railroad Earth this past spring at a New Jersey studio. The album will feature 13 tracks in total and can be pre-ordered by visiting http://www.warrenhaynes.net.
