Return to rock: Americana quintet Railroad Earth has been performing bluegrass with rock ‘n’ roll spirit for over 20 years. The band’s upcoming album, All For The Song, marks both the end of an era and the start of a new chapter—it’s the group’s first full-length studio record since losing founding member Andy Goessling to cancer in 2018. The songs blend wistful, narrative lyrics with lively, foot-tapping horn, harmonica, banjo, and fiddle. You can hear Goessling’s final ukulele and high-strung guitar recordings on the moving “Driftin’ The Bardo,” among other songs about road trips, biblical rainstorms, and a cathartic retreat to New Orleans.
Friday 3/25 & Saturday 3/26. $29.50-50, 7pm. The Jefferson Theater, 110 E. Main St., Downtown Mall. jeffersontheater.com
