Our Story

In electric subways and trains, the third rail is the one next to the train that provides the energy to move. That's the vision of Third Rail, the band!

The Third Rail was laid when four young Bay Area dudes found each other serendipitously in somebody's carriage house. (We don't know what a carriage house is either, so please don't ask.) We found a shared passion in performing high quality, diverse party music that gets everyone on the dance floor! We've been playing our instruments since we were kids and all of us strive for high level of musicianship. Everyone in the band sings, which adds a richness and authenticity to the songs we sing!

We rehearse hard to squeeze out every ounce of groove and feel from the great songs we play.

We come with our own professional PA system, including mixer and in-ear monitors (this means less unwanted stage noise bleeding into the mics and messing up the mix!). If your venue has a front-of-house system, we are also happy to jack into that too.
