Every now and then, a song comes along that sticks with you, no matter how hard you try to get it out of your hear. I can remember when California rock outfit Train released their single “Drops of Jupiter.” That song stuck with me for a looooong time, probably because you couldn’t turn on the radio without hearing it. And it is the song they have become most well-known for, even years after its initial release.



The Grammy-award winning band is headed out on the road this fall, touring in support of its new album, Save Me. One of things that have always worked in the favor of this group is the fact that, while they may aspire to be a rock band, they actually fit quite nicely in the adult contemporary niche. This fact might serve them well when they go out on tour as this is the audience with the disposable income to buy tickets for the concerts.

This tour promises to be a successful one that will likely bring the band new fans as Save Me is a throwback to the early days of the group. In fact, the original line-up is present for this one, including lead singer Pat Monahan, drummer Scott Underwood and guitarist Jimmy Stafford.

The 25-city Train tour runs until December, with special guest Uncle Cracker (also a rocker who found fame in the adult contemporary industry with his hit “Follow Me”). Stops include a Train Orlando concert, a Train Portland tour stop, and a jaunt down to Texas for a Train Houston show. Fans in Georgia can get Train Atlanta tickets and the group will also make a stop in the Windy City for a Chicago Train show.  

If a reliable, fun-loving concert is what you are looking for this fall, then the Save Me tour might be your best bet. Train is known for putting on a simple, yet entertaining, show and the music is always catchy enough to compensate for whatever lack of bells and whistles are missing during the actual show.
