Freedom Train

Freedom Train is dedicated to keeping the best classic songs alive by keeping it live. No backing tracks, no autotune, just pure music played with faithful precision - LIVE! 

Performing over 200 shows annually, Freedom Train has played Massey Hall, MGM Grand in Vegas, festivals, theatres, clubs, casinos, private parties and corporate events across Canada and the US since 1989. 

Freedom Train continues to entertains audiences with their spin on the best of rock, R&B, funk, country and reggae. 

The band brings the greatest songs of all time to life with an authentic respect to the essence and intensity of the original classics! 

This power-trio features the four octave vocal range of vocalist / bassist Carl Jennings, the inventive drumming of Tim Jennings and the creative guitar stylings of Matt Tennison. 

Whether it’s bringing back memories of amazing musical eras or turning new listeners on to timeless songs, Freedom Train loves bringing people together to celebrate the best of times through music!
