Grand Folk Railroad brings on the fun with an eclectic/eccentric mix of folk-rock-flavored, flower-powered forgotten favorites, 60's pop gems, one hit wonders, and the inspiring songwriting of lead singer Susan Schwartz-Christian.
With a make-every-note-count approach to performing, a vast eclectic repertoire, questionable regard for folk music traditions and a variety of instruments including acoustic and electric guitar, banjo, melodica, ukuele, upright, electric and Ashbory (rubber stringed) bass, and a one-of-a-kind suitcase drum kit, Grand Folk Railroad blurs the lines between pop, rock, folk and singer/songwriter genres.

There's no place quite like The Country Corner, and we're really glad to be part of this legendary gathering spot where the tap selection is outstanding and the kitchen turns out the best bar food around. Come let loose with us!
The Corner Galley is the friendliest place around. Jerry is the absolute best bartender there is, the food is great, and there's free beer and wine with dinner if you're dining. Or you can just join us at the bar for some tunes - don't be afraid to sing along!
