Fargo Railroad Company

"Some bands (at least the best ones) just make you smile, make you feel good, make you feel like all is right in the world, and the magnificent Fargo Railroad Co. fall firmly into this camp. If you’ve ever harboured even the slightest inkling of a liking for music of the Southern/Country rock persuasion – or frankly, even if you haven’t - you can’t fail to be enamoured by The Fargo Railroad Co and their beautifully melodic, good time rock n’ roll. The perfect band for a Saturday night party, when The Fargo Railroad Co. take to the stage, in a heartbeat the energy in the room changes and en-masse we’re enveloped by the warmth and charisma of the hugely talented and likeable Sheffield four-piece. Frontman Jody Davies plays the crowd with the roguish panache and road-honed skills of someone who knows exactly how to get the best out of any audience. With a fine line in self-deprecating humour, from the inspired call and response of “you’re an asshole” from ‘Drinkin’ Alone’ to the brilliantly structured ‘Punch Drunk’, every song is received with open arms and, as the set progresses, an ever more enthusiastic response from the crowd."
