Well isn’t this a clever showcase. It looks like Mumford and Sons, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros and the Old Crow Medicine Show will be rolling through San Pedro on April 22, 2011. And when I say “rolling through” I mean that literally! The band will be performing as part of the Railroad Revival Tour. Traveling exclusively in vintage railcars, the three bands will journey across the American Southwest over the course of a week. Considering boys all loved electronic railroads and Thomas the Train in their youth, these guys must be pretty stoked on this tour.
