Consisting of four, this local band includes Ron Bennett, Eddie White, Bill Griffin and Jerome Dicks. Bennett says the idea for the band started while he was playing in a band with his brother. On rhythm guitar, accordion, mandolin, harmony and vocals,  Jerome Dicks says they’re always looking for new things to add to the show. Bass player, harmony and vocals, Bill Griffin says they’re performance always has something for all. Lead guitarist, back up vocals and mandolin, Eddie White joined Big Train back in 2019. Big Train will be back around in the fall after taking the summer off for vacation.
