Lackawanna Carriage Works "Minnesota" Jax TraxxLackawanna Carriage Works originally formed around June of 2007 as a collaboration between Damion Waters and Brennan Hamill after the bands they were in, Sensei and ¡Dang! respectively, both broke up on the same day.
Needing a drummer, they turned to the late ¡Dang! manager, lawyer-musician extraordinaire Adam Deli. Ryan Turk, having worked with Damion before in prior music ventures, was a natural fit into the mix. He brought an accomplished musical background as a songwriter, performer, musician, producer...well you get the gist of it. Brennan was prepared to play bass himself until he remembered that one of the stalwart fans of ¡Dang!, Kevin Peffer, could also play bass. Kevin was quickly brought on board and proved himself more than ready to serve as the band's harmonic foundation.
Thus set as a 5-piece ensemble and armed with an extensive back-catalogue of unique songs written by several of the band's prolific songwriters, Lackawanna Carriage Works entered the music scene and began performing shows. Something was still missing, and by consensus the band began the search for a pianist to fill the gap. He was found and recommended by another ex-¡Dang! member in the person of Jeremy Nix, thus cementing the band at 6 members. The Work's first show as a full band was on 9/15/07 at Jack Rabbit's, almost 3 months after the band initially formed.
In March of 2008, Damion left for NYC to pursue his career. One year after joining, Jeremy left the band to live in Gainesville, FL while attending medical school. He was replaced by Chris Stow. Kevin Peffer left the band to pursue something or other. John Mortonson now plays bass.
