Sounds Like: The Rail Riders are the perfect marriage of Funk/Rock and Rythemic Blues laced with a jazz and fusion undertone that mezmerizes fans and other musicians alike. Stephen's soulful lyrics and funk inspired guitar licks and rythmes,along side Bryan's melodic tones and solos, Adam's rock N' Roll style and chord structures, Meredith's bass lines rooted in jazz, and Brooke's heavily syncopated beats give the songs a life of there own, and a unique sond you can't find anywhere else.
