Since 2006\, The Railroad Boys\, comprised of singer/songwriter Jim Gaudet on guitar\, Bobby Buckley on bass and backing vocals\, Sten Isachsen on mandolin and backing vocals\, Sara Milonovich or Tucker Callander on fiddle\, and ‘Upstate’ Richie Pagano on piano\, have been playing festivals and venues\, big and small\, all over the country.   Jim Gaudet writes nearly all The Railroad Boys songs\, but pinning down the band’s genre can be tricky. Although it started out as bluegrass\, its style has morphed over time into what Gaudet calls “hillbilly rock ‘n roll.” Still\, limiting this band to just one label seems a disservice because\, in his songwriting\, Gaudet does it all: Americana-roots\, classic and outlaw country\, Southern rock\, honky-tonk\, blues\, Cajun. You name it\, he’s probably done it. In fact\, last April at the 4th annual Capital Region Thomas Edison (aka Eddies) Music Awards ceremony at Proctors Mainstage\, Jim Gaudet and The Railroad Boys were honored to win Country/Bluegrass Artist of the Year for the third time\, 2024\, 2023 and 2022. Along with this outstanding honor Jim was selected as performer of the year 2024 by RadioRadio X for the "Listen Up" awards in the Folk/Bluegrass category.  Gaudet has a uniquely animated\, conversational style of singing\, his tone every bit as original as the songs he writes. Clear diction\, an abundance of good humor\, and vocal inflections that follow each song’s emotional arc make you feel like you’re talking with a good friend over the back fence. Gaudet can growl\, yowl\, even yodel with the best of them\, and when he belts out a snappy “Hey!” between verses\, you can feel the room’s energy surge.  SAMPLE SONG “We’ll be bringing the Ruckus! It ain’t nothing but Hillbilly Rock n Roll.” Jim Gaudet Stream this show live at CaffeLenaTV. Livestream available for $5 – 100% of live stream tickets on CaffeLenaTV benefit the artists.
