Join Todd Steed for a train ride around America in search of live music, the perfect cup of tea, and folks who love to share their local culture.
Season One features trips to New Orleans and Memphis and offer interviews with Kermit Ruffins, Aurora Nealand, and Nick Spitzer.
Season Two takes us to D.C. and Baltimore via the rather empty night train from Atlanta. Expect museum musing, tea sipping, and a lot of superb music.
Season Three is a whirlwind adventure starting in Denver and then zips via train to San Francisco. Guests include legends Purnell Steen and Joe Lovano and Ben Hall, who will one day be a legend. We are certain.
Season three starts here: Altitude Matters
