BIOGRAPHY“Now we’re travelin’ all around the world, rollin’ like amidnight train...We’ll always keep playin’ til our dyin’ day,Lord willin’ it’ll all pay off and we’ll be on our way…”FLYNNVILLE TRAIN:A band of brothers in music who produce a sound and a show that will hit fanslike a freight train.Flynnville Train is God-fearin’, women lovin’, workin’ man, stick-to-your ribsmusic with twangy, dirty guitar riffs, and nostalgic vocals as gritty asa long dirt road.Built in Indiana, Flynnville Train hails from Middletown, a small town, middleof nowhere part of the country with a big heart and their music is noexception. Boasting with true grit, the Midwest group lifts the listener upand drops them smack-dab in the sweat-soaked South, then takes a hardturn toward Nashville with their country and blues-inspired rock. Witheach member bringing different influences to the mix, ranging from WaylonJennings to Jimi Hendrix, Flynnville Train brings country home.Channeling an era of southern rock reminiscent of the 1970’s, FlynnvilleTrain brings a vinyl vibe to the digital age… No smoke and mirrors, FlynnvilleTrain is as live on tape as they are on stage.Leaving the station more than a decade ago with miles and miles of roadbehind them, and hours upon hours seated at the writing table or standingon stage, four men are aboard Flynnville Train--Brian Flynn (lead vocals),Brent Flynn (lead guitar\u002Fvocals), Damon Michael (Bass), TommyBales (Drums).Full-grown men playing full-grown music, the group is more than the sumof their parts; the Flynnville Train blend is like an 18-year bottle of scotch.With a sound that is rock-steady strong and goes down easy, these roadtested,Indiana-bred warriors wear like an old pair of boots that are comfortably“lived-in.”Flynnville Train is hard-living optimism—made clear in their album REDEMPTION.A group of guys who have experienced their fair share oftrouble and pain, the overall tone of their album speaks to their dream ofmaking music “their way.”“I think we connect with the working class, because we are theworking class.And we feel good music is good music, PERIOD!”—Brian Flynn, Lead SingerRadio Is Talking About“Preachin’ To The Choir”“Wow!

From the openingguitar licks to the endthese boys sing out whatwe're all feeling and thinkingabout the way theworld is for us today.Great tune, extremelyrelatable andguaranteed to light upyour phones! Jim Quinton– MD\u002FWPPL Radio,Blue Ridge, GAREDEMPTION is straight up, foot-stompin’, whiskey-soaked, gravel flyin’, country rock. A collaborativeeffort that is 100% ironclad, proud and true, it is evident, from start to finish, this is no runawaytrain; it’s right on track.“It’s an honest expression of who we are and the music we love.We like to create melodic vocals, deep grooving rhythmand back it with soulful singing guitars.”—Tommy Bales, DrummerTo capture the group’s driving musical texture, they headed to Barrick Recording Studio in the hills ofGlasgow, KY where LP rules still apply. “We’ve been recording there for more than 10 years; it’s a welcoming,feel-at-home room with warm tones and good vibes,” lead guitar player Brent Flynn introduced.The band locked down, through night and day, to “wood shed” the songs. “We’d write thesongs and then record them just like they did in the 60s and 70s.” The four laid down the tracks live;playing their parts head-to-head and toe-to-toe—the music sang magically.“There was no clock on the wall when we recorded.We just got our groove on and played.We never had to re-cut a song.”—Damon Michael, BassBelievers in the band and their music, John, Sarah, Dan and David Barrick,owners of the recording studio and executive producers on theproject, launched their family-owned label, Next Evolution Records,as an outlet to introduce the new music from FlynnvilleTrain.“Brent, Brian, Damon and Tommy have a love for the music and they live it. They playwith heart.We’re all family and partners in making a contribution to the music—it’s music that should be heard.”—David Barrick, Co-ProducerPreviously seated on the Show Dog Records roster, an imprint known for producing knock-down-dragout,in-your-face tunes, Flynnville Train remains in the vein to whole-heartedly embrace the “finer side”of redneck livin’ with Grandma’s home cookin’ (“Home”), prime seats at NASCAR (“Turn Left”), andraising hell at a local and renowned honky-tonk, Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge (“33 Steps”).On the other side of the tracks, REDEMPTION reveals the guys’ faith in mankind, belief in an honestday’s work and a greater power. “Friend of Sinners” is a slow-tempo cry for help from a man who hasbroken every rule, lost every friend and fears it is too late to turn it all around.“On Our Way” finds the group road-weary and blurry-eyed but remaining steadfast--they wouldn’t want to live any other way. “Alright,” an up-tempo ‘livin’-inthe-moment’ jam, sums up the working man’s viewpoint that there ain’t nothin’wrong with “playin’ as hard as you work.”[A Flynnville Train motto!]A band that stands behind their mission and their music, REDEMPTION is revealing.“Brent, Brian, Damon and Tommyhave a love for the music and they liveit. They play with heart.”“We’ve put a lot of years into our career and our experiences are what shaped this record.The music recaptures and reaffirms days gone by.”—Tommy Bales, DrummerReviving a tried and true, time-tested artistry, Flynnville Train rides the rails to seamlessly weave theirsound with the tradition of southern rock heroes like Lynyrd Skynyrd and ZZ-Top—uniting hungry generationsof all ears. It's music that never tires; it gets into your soul and moves your spirit. Longawaited and right on time, Flynnville Train is music worth its weight.DISCOGRAPHY:“Preachin’ To The Choir” Single 2010 (June)“Sandman” Single 2010 (June)“Last Goodbye” Single\u002FVideo 2007“Nowhere Than Somewhere” Single\u002FVideo 2007“Tequila Sheila” Single 2007“Flynnville Train” Album 2007“Redemption” Album 2010 (June)• Flynnville Train’s “High On The Mountain” was included on the “Toby Keith Broken Bridges” SoundtrackAWARDS\u002FMEDIA:• 2009 People’s Internet Radio Awards—Flynnville Train—“Country Artist To Watch”• 2009 MODERN DRUMMER MAGAZINE Reader’s Poll – Tommy Bales Voted “Up & Coming Drummer”• CMT 330 Sessions (featuring “Last Good Time”, “Nowhere Than Somewhere”, “Tequila Sheila”, “Truck Stop In theSky”, and “Stuck In The Middle”CONTACT INFORMATION:www.FlynnvilleTrain.comwww.Myspace.com\u002FFlynnvilleTrainwww.Facebook.com\u002FFlynnvilleTrainhttp:\u002Ftwitter.com\u002FFlynnvilleTrainwww.YouTube.com\u002FFlynnvilleTrain“Playin’ As Hard As You Work…”Flynnville TrainWe Are Online!!!MANAGEMENTHallmark Direction Company713 18th Avenue SouthNashville, TN 37203(615) 320-7714 Ext. 226PUBLICITYMusic City Media & Marketing38 Music Square East, 2nd FloorNashville, TN 37203(615) 770-2994PRODUCTIONA1 Entertainment Production6212 Regal Springs DriveLouisville, KY 40205(61) 804-3179RECORD COMPANYNext Evolution Records202 Industrial DriveGlasgow, KY 42141-1116(270) 651-NEXT (6398)info@nextevolutionrecords.com
