The ‘Piana From Savannah,’ acclaimed 2019 Grammy-nominated American Roots artist and producer Victor Wainwright and The Train, will perform at the Mauch Chunk Opera House, 14 W. Broadway, Jim Thorpe, at 8 p.m. on Thursday. Doors for the show open at 7 p.m.

Wainwright is a 2019 Grammy Nominee and seven-time Blues Music Award winner; as well as holds five Blues Music Piano Awards, Band of the Year, and the BB King Entertainer of the Year Award. He is known for his raucous high-octane, dynamic performer and crowd pleaser with soul to spare.

The name of Wainwright’s band - and the sleeve image of their albums - is also the most fitting of metaphors.

In music folklore, the train might have associations with the freight-hopping bluesmen of yore, but with this restless boogie-woogie innovator stoking the furnace, Wainwright is a charging locomotive - surging forward, crashing through boundaries of genre, sweeping up fresh sounds and clattering headlong past the doubters.

Wainwright is at the top of his game on the heels of his newest released album, Memphis Loud.
