Since their formation in 1994, multi-GRAMMY Award-winning, diamond-selling band TRAIN has sold more than 10 million albums and 30 million tracks worldwide, amassing over six billion global streams.

TRAIN’s climb to the top began in San Francisco, as the original 5-member band tenaciously built a loyal hometown following, leading up to their debut self-titled album released by Columbia in 1998. The tumbling wordplay of Meet Virginia gave them their first unlikely radio hit, and 2001’s career-defining album Drops of Jupiter broke them to multi-platinum status.

Known for their critically acclaimed catalogue of chart-topping hits including RIAA diamond-certified, #1 best-selling smash Hey, Soul Sister, double-GRAMMY-winning iconic track Drops of Jupiter, and 5x RIAA platinum-certified anthem Drive By, TRAIN has had 14 songs on Billboard’s Hot 100 Chart and 13 albums on the Billboard 200, six of which reached the Top 10, including Drops of Jupiter (2001), My Private Nation (2003), California 37 (2012), Bulletproof Picasso (2014), For Me, It's You (2016), and A Girl A Bottle A Boat (2017). For over three decades, TRAIN has been captivating audiences around the world, earning global recognition with their signature blend of rock and pop, infectious melodies, and heartfelt lyrics.

The band’s dynamic touring history includes headline amphitheater and arena runs across North America and beyond, as well as the launch of their Sail Across the Sun Cruise, an annual at-sea music festival that has become a cornerstone fan experience. With an extraordinary career that includes three GRAMMY Awards, two Billboard Music Awards, multiple diamond/platinum/gold citations, and dozens of other honors, TRAIN continues to reach new milestones, boasting two tracks, Hey, Soul Sister and Drops of Jupiter, that have reached RIAA Diamond status and surpassed one billion streams on Spotify. TRAIN released their 12th studio album, Mad Dog in the Fog, on August 28, 2026.

TRAIN frontman, Pat Monahan, partakes in other ventures outside of music, including his award-winning wine portfolio, Save Me, San Francisco Wine Co, which was created in 2011 and has sold over 10 million bottles and won over 100 medals. Proceeds from his wine business support Family House, a San Francisco charity that supports families of children with cancer and other life-threatening illnesses. Monahan has appeared on television and in film with credits that include the 2021 Hallmark Channel original movie, Christmas in Tahoe, inspired by TRAIN’s album of the same name, which he executive produced and starred, Dr. Ken, 90210, CBS’s Hawaii Five-0 and Magnum P.I., The Voice, American Idol, and The Bachelor.
