Mystery Train is a five piece roots rock band
that hails from New Jersey. They are led by Ron Orlando, who's singing and songwriting talents stir large portions of Memphis
style R&B into the band's eclectic blend of folk, blues and traditional rock.
Mystery Train is comprised of accomplished
musicians that draw heavily on their individual musical influences. The line up consists of:
Ron Orlando - vocals,
electric & acoustic guitars, lap steel and harp.
Tom Haerther- lead guitar, slide guitar, lap steel and vocals.
Buck
Dilly- Pedal Steel, lead guitar, piano and vocals
Mike Orlando - electric and acoustic bass, mandolin and vocals.
David
Kossoff - drums and vocals
The band is augmented at times by the Tres Huevos Horns, Jim Eichinger - tenor and soprano
sax
Jeff Sheldon -trumpet and vocals.
Of course, there is always the occasional appearance of Paul Prestopino, who
has never met a stringed instrument that he couldn't play.
The core of this band has been a musical institution in the
area for over 25 years. Working the club scene from Boston to D.C., they have played every major venue (Cafe au Go Go, The
Lonestar Cafe, The Fast Lane, The Stone Pony, The Bitter End, Jason's, The Top of the Gate, The Second Fret, The Mainpoint
just to name a few) and shared the stage with the likes of Dr. John, The Band, Rick Danko, Paul Butterfield, James Brown,
and Sam and Dave. They have recorded at Wishbone Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama and Record Plant Studios, New York. The
latest project was mastered at Ardent Studios, Memphis, TN.
