Railroad Earth Wraps Guest-Filled Weekend In Colorado

Last evening, Railroad Earth concluded a two-night stand in Colorado with a second consecutive guest-filled show at The Fillmore Auditorium in Denver. After being joined by The String Cheese Incident’s guitarist Bill Nershi as well as trumpeter Dan Sears Friday night, Saturday night’s Railroad Earth concert featured both the Black Swan Singers and banjoist Chris Pandolfi of The Infamous Stringdusters sitting-in.

Like Friday night’s extensive Nershi guest spot that included the RRE debut of SCI’s “Barstool,” the finale at the Fillmore saw the outside players emerge toward the end of the first set and augment nearly the entire second set as well. Below check out fan-shot video of Nershi joining in on “The Forecast” captured Friday night by Ryan Boldrey, as well as footage shared by RRE of the Black Swan Singers (Sheryl Renee, Coco Brown and Carl Carwell) and Pandolfi joining in on the first set closing “Grandfather Mountain” and “My Sisters & Brothers” pairing from Saturday night’s show:
