"...we’re playing music on a train with the country, across the country to see it the way they saw it more than a hundred years ago when we were all children. Dreaming. To lift ourselves and the world we come in contact with back into the magic."

 The Big Easy Express will pull into the Texas Theatre on 11/4. This will sell out so reserve your seat while you can

3 bands, 6 cities, 1 train, and thousands of miles of track…the BIG EASY EXPRESS documents a cinematic musical journey.

Directed by renowned  filmmaker Emmett Malloy (THE WHITE STRIPES UNDER GREAT WHITE NORTHERN  LIGHTS) this incredible new film captures nothing less than history in  the making. Indie folk heroes Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros, Tennessee’s  Old Crow Medicine Show, and Britain’s acclaimed Mumford & Sons,  climbed aboard a beautiful vintage train in California, setting out for  New Orleans, Louisiana on a “tour of dreams”.

The resulting film from  this journey is nothing short of magical. Part road movie and part concert film, BIG EASY EXPRESS bears witness to the birth of a new musical era. With poignancy and beauty, Malloy  documents these incredible musicians as they ride the rails and wow the  crowds, from Oakland… to New Orleans. So climb on board for a vibrant, raucous railway adventure. Filled with  joyous crowds, late night laughter, endless music…and a train that was  bound for glory.
