John 3:08 describes the Spirit as being like the wind which blows where it, pleases. It comes and goes when and where it wants and is there for everyone. The Ghost (Whom Train refers to as his Musical Director). Train is lead singer, Anthony Caruso’s nickname.
Train feels that the SPIRIT is moving him on this musical journey – down this particular “track” –because He, in turn, wants the Train to move his listeners with his music and the messages he brings to them.
There is also a double meaning in the name. The visual of an actual train infers a moving vessel that is inclusive, in that it is large enough to have enough seats to accommodate anyone that wants to come aboard.
308 GHOST TRAIN’s music and messages are inclusive, with melodies and rhythms that are energetically infectious and with lyrics that promote unity, positivity, inspiration, spirituality, and patriotism.
When did you discover your love for your craft and what made you realize you wanted to pursue a career in it?
The love for my craft came at a very early age. I knew I was always destined for this journey because its who I am and not just what I do.
To what or whom do you accredit your sense of style?
“Train” draws from all the usuals like The Beatles The Rolling Stones AC/DC but his most distinctive influences song style, vocally, and performance wise probably tend to lean towards John Fogerty, Bon Jovi, Matchbox Twenty, Springsteen and Mellencamp.
On your upcoming project, how did you come up with the concept?
308 GHOST TRAIN lead singer Anthony “Train” Caruso developed the unique idea for this new project coming off a win for the 2019 POSI Song of The Year Award in the Social Justice Category at the POSI Music Festival and Awards Ceremony held in Tampa, Florida.
The POSI Music Festival is known for promoting and celebrating music with messages of positivity, inspiration, spirituality, and unity. His performance of a newly cut original song led to a standing ovation and sparked a deep interest in booking around the country and set in motion a movement that is gaining steam every day.
What are some of your greatest challenges, and what is your greatest attribute when it comes to your work ethic?
The greatest challenge right now is to figure out how to get on the road and touch as many people as possible worldwide. This is an arduous part of the journey. My greatest attribute is my ability to connect with my audience/fanbase whether there are 20 or 20,000.
I am a relentless pursuer of my endeavors and as tenacious as they come. The nickname suits that personality the saying is “Either get on board or get the Hell out of the way!
Are you the best at what you do in your opinion?
I am absolutely the best at what I do! They may not know me now but it won’t be long before they won’t be able to forget the 308 GHOST TRAIN
What are your plans for the near future?
Make way for 308 GHOST TRAIN! The Plan is to Rock the Whole F’N World. We have rolled onto the music scene and are destined to leave their mark in this industry for years to come with all new original song MESSAGE-ORIENTED ROCK, WITH A CLASSIC VIBE.
Videos are being filmed for 2 singles and a tour is in the works. First, single 21 Guns and A Million Tears is set for release Friday, May 24, 2019, and is already receiving airplay in the US and abroad. The EP title Born in the Wild is slated for release on June 18th, 2019
Is there anyone you’d like to thank, any shout outs?
I’d like to Thank God for giving me the gifts and all the people in my musical and personal life but I’d like to thank myself just as much for persevering, getting back up every time I got knocked down and taking the necessary action to make it all happen.
