Flashtrain is a new and upcoming group, located in the Greater Smokey Mountain Region. The band was formed in early 2007 by Nicholas Ball. You can distinguish a traditional edge with a progressive punch from this high-energy group of young entertainers. With a large variation of singing styles and arrangements, you are sure to find something pleasing when listening to Flashtrain. We play on a regular basis in Gatlinburg and at Maggie Valley, as well as touring throughout the USA for Bluegrass Festivals. Flashtrain is headed back to the studio soon to cut another CD.
Nicholas Ball, from Newport TN, is a multi-talented musician. Nick started out playing the guitar at the age of 11 and the banjo at age 14. Nick has played the National FFA Convention (which over 32,000 people attended) when he was only 16 years old. An original member of the East Tennessee band, “Mountain Edgeâ€, he has also filled in with Grammy winning bluegrass band, David Davis and the Warrior River Boys. Nick will continue to make a name for himself in the world of bluegrass as one of the best young banjo players in the business. This very talented young man can play the banjo, guitar, bass, and mandolin.
Matt Phelps is our singer and guitarist. Andy Ruff plays the dobro and has been with Flashtrain since the band formed. Jordan Rice is new with the band playing on the mandolin.
