Last Fling to Host Train Labor Day Weekend

NAPERVILLE, Ill. – April 14, 2009 – The Naperville Jaycees are happy to announce Train will perform at 8p.m. on the Rotary Hill Main Stage at the Last Fling, Sunday, Sept. 6 this Labor Day weekend.

“Train is a great, American band,” said Kevin Piket, Last Fling co-executive director, “and they share a lot of personal experience through their music.”

As for sources of inspiration for the band’s new album, For Me, It’s You, “the ‘you’ changes in every song,” said Train vocalist and songwriter Pat Monahan. “It’s the woman I’m in love with… my children or my dear friend who died this year, it’s my mother, it’s my family, it’s my band.”

The Grammy Award-winning rock band has achieved RIAA platinum status or better on each studio album, generating a string of hit singles, including: “Free,” “Meet Virginia,” “I Am,” “Drops Of Jupiter,” “Something More,” “She’s On Fire,” “Calling All Angles,” “Ordinary,” “When I Look To The Sky” and “Get To Me.”

Friday, Sept. 4, Lonnie Brooks (6 p.m.) and Robert Cray (8 p.m.) will kick-off the Last Fling with some good-time, uptown, low-down blues, showcasing soulful vocals and instrumental artistry.

“This year we wanted to diversify the musical genre throughout the weekend, in hopes to engage all audiences,” said Matt Liethen, Last Fling co-executive director, “People are looking forward to the variety; we’re confident it’ll be a great show.”
