The Underground Railroad biography
This prog outfit hails from Fort Worth, Texas. In late 1995, the improv-based group ANNE HAND [with drummer Nathan BROWN] had imploded, leaving keyboardist Kurt RONGEY and guitarist Bill POHL to form THE UNDERGROUND RAILROAD a few months later. A few years of writing and recording followed and former Pohl-band drummer John LIVINGSTONE climbed aboard in '97. Matt HEMBREE (Bindle,Drunken Monkey,Goodwin) was asked to contribute bass tracks shortly thereafter.

In 1999, their first album 'Through and Through' was picked up by The Laser's Edge label. Their style derives from classic GENESIS & YES, alongside clear fusion influences from Allan Holdsworth's guitar techniques. Reviews for the album were good, and they were invited to play NEARfest 2001 and CattleProg in '02.
