About this concert
The 8th installment of The Living Odyssey will take up the story where Living Odyssey 7- Ithaca at Last– left off. Odysseus arrives back in Ithaca to find the Island stuck in a strange stasis- the suitors never quite winning Penelope, Telemachus never quite becoming a man, the old, conservative, loyalists never quite giving up hope of the king’s return. It is a harsh, rural small town world a far cry from the Phaeceans- a world of petty rivalries, jealousies, and drabness- of rutted roads, pigs, dogs, beggars, and meager meals on the one hand and empty monotonous merry-making on the other. A miasma hangs over life- people seem shallow, crude, cynical, and isolated from one another- no one- not even the suitors who live for pleasure- seem really to be having any fun. The dynamic is changed by the return of both Odysseus and Telemachus (himself newly back from his fact-finding mission in Pylos and Sparta and a near brush with death).

Late for the Train Biography
Late for the Train is a modern string band rooted in American folk and bluegrass music. Infused with the honest depth of the coastal redwood forests and the heartfelt community of the North Bay, the band provides a playful and poignant musical experience that uplifts the spirit and rouses the soul.
Travel back to a time of hearthside storytelling with these California natives, reveling in the rich traditions of Americana, bluegrass, folk, and Celtic music. Their dynamic songwriting is inspired by influences such as Emmylou Harris, Bob Dylan, Béla Fleck and Abigail Washburn, Mandolin Orange, Mipso, and Nickel Creek.
The core ensemble consists of songwriters and multi-instrumentalists David Pascoe (guitar), Laura Benson (fiddle), Thom Beneduci (stand-up bass), and Bud Dillard (mandolin). The quartet’s skillful craftsmanship meets tender harmonies and potent lyrics that grapple with all the wonder, contradiction, and truth of living in the modern age. Their debut album, Plant It or Build It, was released on September 4th, 2020.
