One Ton Trolley - Without boundary, without destination, this train is departing from the station. Built upon a foundation of grit, grind, and determination, One Ton Trolley delivers Roots Rock from the Rustbelt; a genre melt, ripe with the sights, sounds, and smells of Southeast Michigan. Navigating the lines between folk, rock, country, blues, and bluegrass, pioneers traversing forward, honoring what’s come to pass.
Conducted by Bill Arnold (Guitars & Vocals), Chris Brown (Bass), Jon Johnson (Drums), and Anthony Zack (Guitars & Vocal), The Trolley infuses riveting harmonies, lush guitars, and powerful rhythms to conjure imagery of hardworking folk from all walks of life. Imagine something sounding like your favorite pair of jeans fits; familiar, but not ordinary; honest, yet leaving your subconscious to wander and wonder over the lineage of the historical feats which manifested this sound, on these dirty strings. Complimentary to everybody, while not sounding like anybody. Small footprint, big sound, delivering surging currents of Midwest electricity to be felt, held, and moved by. Country strummin’, rock thumpin’; a no-frills, rustic-ride and reminder that what once was, shall be again. Some people play music for fun, while others play it until they can no longer.
