On Friday, Railroad Earth will take to Red Rocks Amphitheatre with Leftover Salmon and Keller and the Keels. While Railroad’s annual return to the legendary outdoor venue in Morrison, Colorado, is always a treat, the band has something special in store for fans who make it to the concert this year. Coinciding with the show, Railroad will release their brand-new EP, Captain Nowhere, and are planning on giving all concertgoers a free copy to mark the occasion.

moe. And Railroad Earth To Hit The Road Together This Summer

Captain Nowhere contains six tracks, which were recorded late last year during breaks in Railroad Earth’s heavy touring schedule. As guitarist and vocalist Todd Sheaffer noted in a press release,  “I’m excited for the official release of the new Railroad Earth EP! We recorded the new music last November with Mark Howard producing. The new collection, though only six tracks, covers a lot of ground: songs freshly inspired by the times we’re living in, songs inspired by ancient myth, new songs, songs that have been under construction for a good while, instrumental explorations, blazing pickers, ambient moods. Captain Nowhere, the ‘epic’ of the record, is the title of the EP and the title track. Bon Voyage, Captain!”

Railroad Earth’s Hangtown Music Festival Announces Initial Lineup

In mid-June, Railroad Earth premiered a track, “Adding My Voice,” from the new album via Relix, along with a new music video by Justin Benoliel. As the band noted to the media outlet, the video “was able to capture the moment in time we are all currently experiencing. No matter what side people find themselves on, the events of last year and now have built up so many emotions that they have ultimately pushed people to a point of action. Maybe we’re all learning how extreme things need to get in order for all of us to get involved.” You can listen to “Adding My Voice” below, or catch it on Captain Nowhere when the EP comes out later this week. Tickets for Friday’s Red Rocks show are available for purchase here.
