Description

3 bands, 6 cities, 1 train, and thousands of miles of track create an unforgettable musical experience in Big Easy Express.  Directed by Emmett Malloy (The White Stripes Under Great White Northern Lights) and starring some of the finest acts in music today, this incredible film captures nothing less than history in the making. Indie folk heroes Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros, Tennessee’'s Old Crow Medicine Show, and Britain'’s acclaimed Mumford & Sons hopped on a beautiful antique train and set out across America on a “tour of dreams.”  With poignancy and beauty, Malloy documents these incredible musicians as they ride the rails and wow the crowds from Oakland to New Orleans. So climb aboard the Big Easy Express for a vibrant and raucous adventure filled with joyous crowds, late night laughter, endless music…and a train that was bound for glory.

  • Mumfords on the verge of overexposure

    As great as they are, the Mumfords are on the verge of overexposure, especially playing the same songs in all their concerts - admittedly the fans want to see them, but I am sure they have other great songs and bring tremendous talent to everything they do. It is great that some lesser known (but also great) bands are brought into the fold in this movie and hopefully get more exposure and recognition, but this would have been the perfect "vehicle" so to speak for the Mumfords to do something different at least in the edit of this film, in not in the concerts along the way.

    I love a good concert film and this definitely is one. The variety of bands, venues and songs to the backdrop of the California Zephyr. Chills. Loved it.

    Amazing. Incredible bands, great energy; I could not stop watching. This documentary gives a behind the scenes look at these fantastic musicians that makes you wish you were on the train with them. A must-watch for fans of these very talented acts.
