Train
Train is an American rock band that was formed in 1994. Lead vocalist Pat Monahan moved from his hometown of Erie, Pennsylvania to California, crossing paths with Rob Hotchkiss, who performed in coffee houses and local clubs. Monahan did vocals and Hotchkiss did backing vocals and guitar. When they decided to form a full band, Jimmy Stafford was recruited to play guitar with Charlie Conn joining at a later date and Scott Underwood was drummer. The band was rejected by Columbia Records in 1996 so they decided to release their first independent self-titled album, which came out in 1998, bringing the band mainstream success.
Their sophomore album “Drops of Jupiter” came out in 2001 (surprisingly) by Columbia Records and brought them massive popularity. The self-titled single became an international hit, garnering the band two Grammy Awards in 2002.
