The Beautiful Train Wrecks boast a five-piece membership with geographically diverse origins; members hail from Kansas, Washington, Arizona, Texas and Maine. The Beautiful Train Wrecks were formed in 2007, with the aim of playing traditional country music in the vein of Hank Williams, Ernest Tubb, and George Jones. When lead players Travis Magrane and Joe Root joined the fold, the Train Wrecks' sound diversified beyond their original classic country intentions. The result: each band member's regional musical influences permeate into tuneful songs that can be described alternately as country, roots, alt-country, rock, and folk.

During live performances, frontman Lucas Alberg's stage presence is at times spirited, cheerfully engaging in playful exchanges with audience and band members alike. At other times, when explaining the provenance of a particular song's story, Lucas Alberg appears reflective and thoughtful, carefully choosing his words to provide the proper context for a song with weightier lyrical content.

Optimism is a recurring theme in the Train Wrecks' music. The songs are heartfelt and immediate without resorting to lyrical cliches or disingenuous themes. These are the type of emotional currents that The Beautiful Train Wrecks hope to communicate through their music.
