Music From A Timeless Generation - You've Lived It, Now Celebrate It!

     

Freedom Train brings the greatest songs of all time to life with an authentic respect to the essence and intensity of the original classics! 

Freedom Train is dedicated to keeping the best classic songs alive by keeping it live: no backing tracks, no autotune, just pure music played with faithful precision - LIVE! 

Performing over 150 shows annually (over a 1500 shows since 2010), Freedom Train has played Massey Hall, MGM Grand in Vegas, festivals, theatres, clubs, casinos, private parties and corporate events across Canada and the US.

Freedom Train continues to entertains audiences with their spin on the best of rock, R&B, funk, country and reggae. 

This power-trio features the four octave vocal range of vocalist / bassist Carl Jennings, the inventive drumming of Tim Jennings and the creative guitar stylings of Matt Gormley. 

Whether it’s bringing back memories of amazing musical eras or turning new listeners on to timeless songs, Freedom Train loves bringing people together to celebrate the best of times through music!

Saturday May 11th AFTERNOON EVENT HAMMERING CANCER: a Benefit for Scott Marsh!

Join us for an afternoon of music in support of our good friend, Scott Marsh!

Scott was recently diagnosed and is undergoing treatment for cancer which will leave him without work for months to come. Each of the bands/mates are great friends with Scott, who love him dearly and want to show him community love through music: It’s what brought us together from day one. Scott has an infectious positive attitude which helps make him a cornerstone in the Hamilton Music Scene.

Being self- employed means there’s no recourse for Scott through surgery, treatment or recovery, so we are raising funds and fighting along side him to help our brother in this journey!

100% of funds raised through tickets and raffles are going directly to Scott and his recovery.

It will an action packed afternoon of Hamilton talent! FOR THOSE WHO CAN'T ATTEND - DONATIONS TO SCOTT CAN BE MADE DIRECTLY BY E-TRANSFER TO: scottmarsh1860@gmail.com

Let’s SMASH THE HAMMER down together and show Scotty the love he deserves.

Doors open at 12pm.

Performances are from 1pm to 6pm: The Commoners Freedom Train LEASH - A Tribute to Pearl Jam Hotfix Kristin Nicholls Band The Commandos The JRCS
