October 12, 2016Explosive sound and contagious energy
I hired Night Train for our school festival event to close out the show on a Sunday afternoon and they did a great job. They had explosive energy, and got down off the stage and got the audience involved in the music, up and dancing. They played some AC/DC, Metallica along with Bruno Mars so they really mixed it up well.
I'd love to book them again, this time for a Friday or Saturday spot rather than Sunday since they really bring the excitement.

August 9, 2023YESSSS TO THIS BAND!!!! ROCKED OUT!!!
Booking a band sight-unheard or un-seen for a big event can be nerve wracking for sure. Will they show up on time?! Will they sound good!? Will the crowd enjoy them?!
I can say that Night Train checked every box! They were fantastic and the perfect Rock-out vibe to our party. Which by-the-way was not your usual party. It was an evening, outdoor party full of tree people with a full-blown climbing competition going on in the background up a 70 ft tall Eucalyptus tree. I gave the band autonomy with the music choice and they nailed it and brought the energy.
Thank you!!! Will absolutely book again.

Thank you so much for the kind words! We had such a blast at TreeTopia. Playing “Welcome to the Jungle” while the championship round was going on was truly one of the coolest and unique experiences of our career!

October 22, 2019WOW ---WHAT A FUN NIGHT OF DANCING!
Night Train certainly energized my Annual Fundraising Event! The 140 peeps present certainly were entertained thru the night with Classic Rock Songs, and the dance floor was moving. The Band was easy to work with and very professional.

Thanks Cathleen! We had an awesome time at your event. We are sorry we rocked so hard the power went out for a mile though. We'll try to tone it back a tiny bit next time! ;)

January 10, 2018Blown Away by the Night Train!!!
We were blown away by the awesomeness that is Night Train. Their energy was amazing and they interacted with the crowd! Their sound system was top notch and accoutrements (lighting, fog machine, the works!) just took the performance to the next level. Their song selection was broad and spot on for a rockin' good time. The experience was like packing a full concert line up into a local music venue. We received nothing but positive and ecstatic feedback from our patrons. We must have Night Train back again!!!
