Whether you’ve followed TrainWreck from the beginning or are seeing us for the first time, we can promise we’ll be bringing the energy and making the most of this amazing opportunity.

This show means a lot to us, especially because it’s happening right here at home. The support we’ve received from our local communities over the years has helped us continue growing, booking bigger opportunities, and doing what we love. Being able to represent our hometown area on a stage like this is something we’re incredibly proud of.
