Jesse Harper, guitar and lead vocals for Old School Freight Train, is stepping out on his own for solo appearances in 2009.  He is currently finishing a solo album to be released in late 2009.

Old School Freight Train, from Charlottesville, VA combines thought provoking lyrics with captivating melodies, soulful vocals, virtuosic instrumentals and imaginative arrangements.   Blending folk, jazz, soul, pop, bluegrass, latin and celtic, OSFT offers a unique musical experience leading the BOSTON GLOBE to call them “the Next Big Thing” and the CHICAGO TRIBUNE claims is “accessible but uncompromising in creativity.” DAVID GRISMAN says, “After forty years of recording
acoustic music, it’s not very often that a new band catches, and keeps, my
attention. Old School Freight Train has done that and more.” “Shades of Jack Johnson, Ben Harper… even a kiss of Van Morrison… Old School Freight Train is off on a timeless new track blending roots and rock to create a sound that’s all their own.” – Tim Dickinson, Rolling Stone
