Stubbs and The wraps summer band tour at LUNA Rail

Stubbs and The, a 5-piece band with a style that swings between Italian Metal, Jazz Boogie and theatrical tunes, wants to bring some foot-stomping, family-friendly grooves to LUNA Rail.

Calling Rossland, B.C. home, Stubbs and The have spent the summer touring Canada and plan to use LUNA Rail to introduce more audience members to their catalog, along with wrapping up their summer music season.

“We are always trying to reach a broader audience and we feel our music fits the festival theme perfectly,” band member David Stubbs told Revelstoke Mountaineer when asked what most excites the band about joining the inaugural LUNA Rail. 

When asked what makes the band for the whole family, Stubbs said their style of taking ridiculous ideas and playing around with them is the perfect act for audiences of all ages.

“The name…is a cliffhanger,” Stubbs said. “It encourages listeners to be creative and come up with their own suggestions on what name should follow the “The”. It’s super interactive and a lot of fun to hear some of the name suggestions.”

Along with their excitement of helping launch LUNA Rail, Stubbs said the band is looking forward to showing what a summer of touring has done for them.

“We have grown so much as a band this summer and our LUNA performance will be the last of the season! We are grateful to be finishing our summer of music at such a fitting themed festival.”

You can check out Stubbs and The at LUNA Rail Sunday, Sept. 24 at the Revelstoke Railway Museum, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission by donation, all ages are welcome.
