Hailing from Seward, Alaska; Blackwater Railroad Company’s wild energy defies expectations. Bordering bluegrass and saxophone driven roots-rock; the band is inspired by the spirit of the 49th state, where endless daylight leads to boundless joy. Tight four-part harmonies and honky-tonk piano punctuate the endless pulsing dance beats and foot-stomping anthems that have established them as a favorite among mountain folk and wandering souls.

Their new album ‘A Lovely Place to Die’ is out on all streaming platforms, a love letter to the extremes of northern living capturing a retro sound for new audiences. “Everybody has a story worth telling, and we want to create music that resonates with the highs and lows, the celebration and joy, but also the complexities.”
