Description: The Lost Trailers' Stokes Nielson (singer-songwriter and guitarist) and Ryder Lee (lead singer and keyboardist) began making music together in high school, writing and recording demos on a short trip to Nashville in the late '90s. They also roomed together at Vanderbilt University and collaborated on a musical interpretation of a series of short stories.
Bassist Andrew Nielson (Stokes' younger brother) and drummer Jeff Potter attended the same high school and were the first recruits once Stokes and Lee began performing the songs they'd recorded. Guitarist Manny Medina joined shortly thereafter.
The Georgia band's name came after a trailer full of instruments and equipment was stolen in their first year together. The name was meant to be an inside joke, but it started to seem prophetic by the time their third instrument trailer disappeared in 2004.
Opening the show is Latin band Rio Grande, which released its self-titled debut album for EMI in late 1996.
