   About The Derailers
***IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ADD THE DERAILERS AS A FRIEND, AND YOUR PROFILE IS MARKED "PRIVATE" YOU MUST SEND US A MESSAGE FIRST. THANKS!!*** In a career that has given rise to more than a decade’s worth of fine-tuned, highly anticipated and wonderfully received music, the Derailers continue to build the relationship between song, listener and dance floor. Each album has been a mix of well-crafted original songs and cover songs so thoughtfully chosen and so representative of the band, that fans think they are as original as the band themselves. Challenged by their fans to create a sound that mirrors the shuffle of happy boots on a hardwood floor, the Derailers have fed the hungry dancehall crowds with their classic country beats and a 60s pop sensibility. Fans continue to show their appreciation and admiration with requests for encores long after the last drink has been served. In terms of sound, the Derailers have gotten smoother with age. As Hofeldt puts it, “I think we have retained the path we are going for. But we have certainly grown as players and allowed other influences to come in.” Their music celebrates the legacies of Buck Owens, George Jones, Roy Orbison, Elvis Presley, Charlie Rich and the Beatles, while still being on the edge of today’s country music. Hofeldt describes his view of country music as, “finding out what love really is, versus what you thought it was when you were a kid.” For all the fans of the Derailers, love is all you need.

You boys gots to be playing somewhere on Halloween.  Considering that you have no dates posted before November 21, I am surmising that you took day jobs or are breaking up.

You boys were on fire at Dan's last Friday.  The 35 minute medley you closed out with was worth the price of admission.  The missus hasn't removed the skinny T I bought her 'cept for showering.  We'd have been happy to buy a couple of rounds for all of you, but Mr. McJagger insisted that he and Mr. James were the only one partaking.  That barmaid who sort of had that Sela Ward thing going on mixes a hell of a caucasian.

As we embark on our promotional tour for the September 28 release of our CD we will be blasting Full Western Dress on our car stereos, MP3 players, and all manner of portable sound reproduction devices for we too are an amalgamate of Beatles and various country artists.

Somehow we are very kindred spirits seperated by a continent and an ocean but no less brothers of sorts

Hope y'all get up to Norway someday soon!
