Westbound Train is a ska and reggae band from Boston, Massachusetts, known for their smooth, soulful sound that blends traditional Jamaican ska, rocksteady, and classic soul influences. Since their formation in 2001, they have been a standout in the modern ska scene, bringing a more laid-back and melodic approach compared to the high-energy punk-infused style of many of their contemporaries.

Their music incorporates elements of jazz, R&B, and soul, giving them a warm and groove-heavy vibe that sets them apart from traditional third-wave ska bands. After taking a break for several years, Westbound Train returned with new music and shows, reaffirming their place as one of the most soulful and refined bands in the modern ska scene. Their blend of ska, soul, and reggae makes them a must-listen for fans of smooth, heartfelt music with a groove.
