OXFORD – On Saturday, January 6, at 7:30 pm, 6 On The Square is pleased to welcome the return of Jim Gaudet and the Railroad Boys to our stage. Their modern, yet so classic and nostalgic hillbilly-edged music, makes one feel as if they’re traveling in time, maybe back to Louisiana of 1963.
The Railroad Boys philosophy is the basic belief that audience participation leads to a deeper and more meaningful connection. It is typical to hear the band's audience enthusiastically whooping it up during songs like their signature “shout along” titled "So Far So Good," or maybe dancing to “If It Ain’t Cajun”. The RR Boy's closeness with their listeners is obvious no matter where they perform. They consistently bridge the gap between themselves and their audience, essentially creating one big “down home” family who've been brought together by their shared experience through Jim and The RR Boys songs and musical stories.
The band supports Gaudet's song writing and arrangements with just the right amount of gusto and drive. The group for this evening will consist of Jim Gaudet, guitar, singer, songwriter; Bobby Ristau, upright bass and backing vocals; Sten Isachsen, mandolin and backing vocals; and special guest Tucker Callander on fiddle and backing vocals.
