"Southern Rail’s performances are high-energy exuberant fun, with riveting harmonies, irrepressible humor and sparkling banjo and mandolin solo work," SCI stated. "The group’s reverence for the traditional shines throughout their live concerts and recordings, and is reflected in their prolific songwriting."
