The Train45 Bluegrass Band was formed in Greece in 2006, to play traditional bluegrass music. The current line up of the band is: Stergios Loustas, Giannis Gougourelas, Kostas Liagouras, Lakis Tzimkas, Darja Pahic and Dimitra Papastavrou.
Stergios and Giannis had been members of ‘Salty Dog’, a short lived folk/bluegrass combo based in Thessaloniki, that started in 1997 and performed live until 2001.
After a 5 year break, Stergios and Giannis decided to seek for other musicians in the area to jam with, and from these jam sessions the idea for a new band begun to take shape.
Dimitra, Kostas, Lakis and Darja joined the band and soon the Train45 Bluegrass Band was born.
Train 45 is the first and as far as we know the only active band playing Bluegrass music in Greece.
