Myles Hildebrand is the brainchild behind Myles From Home. He’s joined by a band that is described as “folk rock going on a successful first date with jazz funk.” 

Their recent single, "Don’t Get On The Train," is a vibrant testament to their fusion of folk rock and jazz funk—a musical rendezvous that feels like a successful first date. From the get-go, the track emits festival vibes, brimming with cathartic joy that beckons movement. 

The opening riff intertwines a jam band's free-flowing essence with reggae undertones, swiftly escalating in energy, crafting a dynamic interplay between loud and soft beats. The infectious groove, complemented by a harmonica's soulful touch, dances seamlessly amidst the bass and other instruments through the composition. 

Notably, the descending horns on the hook meld into the mix, adding a compelling layer to the track. The triumphant outro serves as a celebration, harnessing the full vigor of the horns in an all-out jam session that smoothly segues back into the vocal-led section. Hildebrand's vocals shine brightly, exuding heartfelt emotions and showcasing an impressive range.

"Don’t Get On The Train" effortlessly radiates good vibes, making it an easy recommendation for anyone seeking a joyful musical experience. I think fans of  Mumford and Sons, The String Cheese Incident and other like-minded bands will appreciate this most but think this has broad appeal overall. Take a listen.
