    Biography

    Memphis Train Revue is a rhythm and blues and classic soul band that strives to provide authentic live performances that reproduce, as closely as possible, the original recordings of classic hits from the 1950’s through the present while providing the highest quality musicianship, vocal skill, showmanship and professionalism. In addition to delivering world class performances, Memphis Train Revue connects with each audience and establishes with them a rapport that encourages people to discard their inhibitions and actively participate in the performance, not just watch it.

    Memphis Train Revue’s unique combination of authenticity, personality, accessibility, musicianship, showmanship and professionalism led Mia Hamm, world renowned female soccer player, and Nomar Garciaparra, 5 time all-star and 2 time MLB batting champion, to insist Memphis Train Revue play their wedding.

    After performing with the band in Hollywood at another star studded event, Lou Diamond Philips wrote “The Train played great tunes . . . and the dance floor was beyond full. I can't wait to get together with y'all again!”
