Maryhill's 2010 Concert Series: Train
Date:
July 10, 2010
Location:
Maryhill Winery & Ampitheater
Maryhill Winery & Amphitheater is thrilled to announce a crowd-pleasing lineup of nationally-acclaimed artists for their 2010 concert series. Performing this summer on the winery’s awe-inspiring stage – perched on a bluff overlooking the Columbia River and majestic Mt. Hood – will be Train, Lyle Lovett, Jackson Browne, Natalie Merchant and Earth, Wind & Fire. Located on the Washington-Oregon border, Maryhill Winery’s 4,000-seat outdoor amphitheater offers sweeping views of the Columbia River Gorge. The amphitheatre is built into an existing slope on the grounds next to the winery and tasting room, enchanting lovers of music, wine and the great outdoors with its magic every year. Train – July 10 – 7 p.m. Over the course of 15 years, Train has made its mark on music history with their Grammy-Award-winning song "Drops of Jupiter (Tell Me)" and chart-topping singles "Meet Virginia" and "Calling All Angels." Since forming in San Francisco in 1994, the multi-platinum selling band has traveled a long, successful and sometimes arduous journey. Following their 2006 release, For Me, It's You, the band took a three-year hiatus, and in that time, Train has, for all intents and purposes, experienced an epiphany as a whole. Now, with their fifth album, Save Me San Francisco, Train has channeled their early days, revisiting the roots rock sound that has made the band such a tour de force – and, in turn, the band is united stronger than ever before.
