About Me |
|
| ***IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ADD THE DERAILERS AS A FRIEND, AND YOUR PROFILE IS MARKED "PRIVATE" YOU MUST SEND US A MESSAGE FIRST. THANKS!!***In a career that has given rise to more than a decade’s worth of
fine-tuned, highly anticipated and wonderfully received music, the
Derailers continue to build the relationship between song, listener and
dance floor. Each album has been a mix of well-crafted original songs
and cover songs so thoughtfully chosen and so representative of the
band, that fans think they are as original as the band themselves.Challenged by their fans to create a sound that mirrors the shuffle of
happy boots on a hardwood floor, the Derailers have fed the hungry
dancehall crowds with their classic country beats and a 60s pop
sensibility. Fans continue to show their appreciation and admiration
with requests for encores long after the last drink has been served.In terms of sound, the Derailers have gotten smoother with age. As
Hofeldt puts it, “I think we have retained the path we are going for.
But we have certainly grown as players and allowed other influences to
come in.” Their music celebrates the legacies of Buck Owens, George
Jones, Roy Orbison, Elvis Presley, Charlie Rich and the Beatles, while
still being on the edge of today’s country music. Hofeldt describes his
view of country music as, “finding out what love really is, versus what
you thought it was when you were a kid.” For all the fans of the
Derailers, love is all you need.
