Bluegrass wunderkind Wyatt Ellis shovels coal into the firebox of tradition with the debut of his bluegrass band. Originally penned in 1957 by Pike County, Kentucky mandolinist Cuddles Newsome, Choo Choo Coming laid the groundwork for what would become rockabilly music. When The Stanley Brothers put their stamp on it in a few years later, they cemented the classic train song’s place in the bluegrass canon. Now, nearly 70 years later, Wyatt and his young band are taking hillbilly music full steam ahead, delivering high-energy picking, tight harmonies, and the powerful drive that defines authentic Appalachian music. With deep respect for tradition and unstoppable drive, Wyatt pushes the rhythm forward like a locomotive. His band matches his energy at every turn—raw, unfiltered, and hard-driving bluegrass straight from the Smoky Mountains. Immersing himself in studying the icons of the genre like Bill Monroe, The Stanley Brothers, The Johnson Mountain Boys, and Keith Whitley, Wyatt has honed his craft with relentless dedication. Now, as he turns 16, he’s proving himself, not only as a world-class picker, but a commanding vocalist and natural bandleader to boot. This landmark release captures the spirit of old-time mountain music while breathing new life into a genre that’s been rattling down the rails for generations. With Choo Choo Coming, Wyatt Ellis marks his arrival as an artist ready to carry the torch of traditional bluegrass and old-school rockabilly music into the future, full speed ahead. He’s not just preserving tradition—he’s pushing it forward, grounded in the hills that raised him and driven by a fire all his own.
