Train Runs On Schedule

Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles was a veritable beehive of activity last week leading up to Sunday’s Grammy Awards. Last Thursday and Friday we were knee-deep in the action at Westwood One’s Backstage Live At The Grammys, as a steady stream of recording artists and various celebrities made the rounds of all the radio stations camped out at the venue.

Closing out Friday afternoon’s festivities, Columbia recording act Train performed an intimate set for the attendees that included their latest single, “Play That Song,” which is going Top 5 at Hot AC and crossing to Pop radio now. See them in [your town here] as their U.S. headline tour was just announced.
