Husband and wife musical duo "The Grahams" culminated their "On The Tracks" tour of the United States via Amtrak with a free concert at the Memphis Railroad and Trolley Museum on July 6th.
Alyssa and Doug gathered  inspirtion for their previous album "Riverman's Daughter"by traveling the "Great River Road" from Minnesota to Louisiana, ending up on a houseboat on the bayou, where they  holed up to work on the project.
This was the template for the "On The Tracks" project, but instead of the Louisiana swamps, the project is returning to Memphis and Hudson Hall in Memphis Central Station with a free benefit concert (contributions accepted)/ recording session for their new album. Cody Dickinson of the North Mississippi All Stars will reportedly be the producer of the new album and several of the All Stars are rumored to be back up musicians for the performance.
The concert is being held as part of the Central Station 100th Anniversary celebration on Thursday, October 2nd. We will be opening the museum gift shop from 6:00 PM to 7:15PM prior to the concert and from 9:30 PM 'til 10:15 PM after the concert. The concert itself will be from 7:30 PM 'til 9:30 PM.
