Enoch Train
LDS Music World presents the music of LDS group Enoch Train

SHALL WE GATHER features more of Enoch Train's award-winning unique contemporary arrangements of traditional folk and hymn tunes. Enoch Train front man Clive Romney says the band performs "American folk music with a passport." The band's previous albums have won them 8 Pearl Awards.

Enoch Train takes the next step on SHALL WE GATHER, incorporating choir and symphony orchestra into their music. Last summer, the band was invited to perform the album's title track with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir on the occasion of the Nauvoo Temple dedication.

Enoch Train's decision to showcase their new music in a benefit concert for the Unity Spiritual Center is another manifestation of the band's desire to use their musicianship to uplift communities. In late February Enoch Train gave workshops in schools throughout Evanston, WY as part of a Young Musicians educational program. The band was also asked to represent the music of Salt Lake City during a recent taping of the national program "Food Nation with Bobby Flay" for the Food Network.

ABOUT ENOCH TRAIN

Eight Master Musicians. Ninety Exotic Instruments.
Hundreds of Years of Folk Hymn Heritage.

The Concept
Enoch Train is an "instrumental-contemporary-acoustic-Americana-folk ensemble" dedicated to recording and performing traditional and original melodies from around the world in a fresh and innovative manner. When immigrants came to America long ago, they carried the music of their homelands in their hearts. Later, in public gatherings or at church worship services, they sang this music and shared it within their "melting pot" communities. This music helped to establish a new musical tradition in a budding nation. Enoch Train celebrates the diversity of the people of America by exploring these melodies.

The Band
Led by producer/musician Clive Romney, and comprised of some of the best studio musicians in the Intermountain West, Enoch Train brings fresh expression to the songs and tunes that have become so well known in American culture, and introduces us to other sounds from around the world. Guitar, woodwinds, bass, mandolin, fiddle, accordion, harmonica, and drums of all shapes and sizes—to name just a few—paint a musical picture that leaves the listener with renewed excitement for the music of America.

The Name
The Enoch Train was an actual sailing ship that brought immigrants from Europe to North America in the late nineteenth century. Upon the occasion of its launch in 1852, the Boston Daily Atlas called the Enoch Train the largest clipper ship in the world, and praised it by writing, "Never was there a ship to which the term beautiful was more appropriately applied." Enoch Train, the band, took the name in honor of those who sailed in search of a new and better life, bringing with them the traditions of their homelands and creating new traditions in a new land.
