Westbound Train is an internationally acclaimed American ska, rocksteady, and vintage soul band formed in Boston, Massachusetts, in 2001 by lead vocalist and songwriter Obi Fernandez. Spearheading the early-2000s traditional ska and dirty reggae resurgence on Tim Armstrong's legendary Hellcat Records, the group earned global praise for their authentic blend of 1960s Jamaican rocksteady and Stax/Motown soul.
Their landmark albums, including 'Transitions' (2006) and 'Come and Get It' (2009), produced celebrated ska and soul anthems like 'Please Forgive Me', 'I'm No Better', 'Check Your Time', and 'Come and Get It'. The band's rich sonic formula marries punchy brass horn sections, soulful Hammond organ rhythms, and syncopated ska guitar skanks with Fernandez's heartfelt, raspy soul vocals.
Westbound Train has toured extensively across North America and Europe, performing at major festivals and touring alongside ska and punk luminaries including The Slackers, Streetlight Manifesto, and Rancid.
For guitarists, keyboardists, and brass players, Westbound Train's catalog is a masterclass in classic upbeat ska guitar upstrokes, syncopated reggae chops, and rich Motown chord progressions that are exhilarating to learn and play.
