Enoch Train, a ship that carried nineteenth century immigrants from Europe to America, embodies everything this group is about. Cultures from all over the world coming together in the name of religious freedom, sharing their musical heritage, and creating a new one in the process. The eight musicians of Enoch Train have lived, traveled and performed all over the world. This, in addition to the influence of world cultures, led them to incorporate international musical elements and instruments into their music. And so Enoch Train explores both the streams and the rivers of familiar tunes-where the tunes have come from, and where they might be going. And as cultural heritage is deep and ever expanding, they have a lifetime of exploring to do.
