A Train Lands Tesla Catalog

Posted on by

A Train is delighted to digitally distribute several titles from the Tesla Electric Company Recordings catalog-Reel to Reel 1, Reel to Reel 2, For Evermore, Twisted Wires and Simplicity– with other titles coming as rights become available. As noted journalist Al Carlos Hernandez said in a recent Herald de Paris interview with Brian Wheat, bassist for Tesla, “TESLA is a multi-platinum American rock band from Northern California known for their melodic songs and down to earth appeal. Thanks to their die-hard, loyal fan base and their younger generation offspring, TESLA continues to tour to sold-out crowds around the world.”

In addition to the Tesla Electric Recording Company, A Train has also been contracted to digitally distribute Brian Wheat’s J Street Records catalog, recordings he has produced and performed on (or both).
