Music fans that flock to the TODAY show plaza to see Train live will preview an appetite-whetting sample of their much-anticipated live dates.  Train will set the table for the album's release in September with shows in Los Angeles, New York, and their hometown of San Francisco among others. Several summer festival and one-off dates have already been announced, including Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Denver, CO, Sturgis Buffalo Chip Bike Rally in Sturgis, SD and V Festival in the UK.

Train will also host the second annual Sail Across the Sun Cruise next February 13-17, 2015. The follow up event to last year's sold out food, music & wine festival at sea will feature comedian Michael Ian Black, chefs Chris Cosentino and Ryan Scott, and reggae legends The Wailers. Tickets are on sale now and more info is available at www.sailacrossthesun.com.

Audiences have come to expect a melodic and visceral tour de force from Train, with the band possessing one of the more potent, radio-embedded repertoires.  The acclaimed group has sold more than ten million albums worldwide, thirty million tracks worldwide, with numerous platinum/gold citations on their mantle, 3 Grammy Awards, 2 Billboard Music Awards and dozens of other honors and nominations.

Their gift for delivering memorable songs with an edgy refinement has seen them achieve unprecedented radio and social media traction, with the eight-time Grammy nominees heralded as a standard bearer of riveting, roots-based pop around the world.  Their most recent album, 2012's California 37 spawned the hit "Drive By," among other songs, a multi-platinum single that reached the Top Ten in 13 countries, adding to the prolific Train  set-list which already includes multiple signature smashes such as their Grammy winning classic "Drops Of Jupiter (Tell Me)," the chart-topping  "Meet Virginia," and "Calling All Angels."  The band snagged another Grammy in 2011 for their global smash "Hey Soul Sister," (the #1 hit and biggest selling single of 2010) from their 2009 multi-platinum album, Save Me, San Francisco. In 2011, Train launched the Save Me, San Francisco Wine Co. and Save Me, San Francisco Chocolate Co, which benefit Family House, a Bay Area nonprofit providing temporary housing to the families of seriously ill children being treated at University of California San Francisco Benioff Children's Hospital.
