Dan Tyminski releases video for title track on new CD Wheels
Burlington, MA — Bluegrass giant Dan Tyminski takes a trip in his new video for the title track from his album Wheels. The video, directed by Rocky Schenck and produced by Rocky Schenck and Brad Paul, was shot on The Sierra Hotel train car on June 10 -11 in California.
The Sierra Hotel car was part of the California Zephyr line that ran from Chicago to Los Angeles from 1948 to 1983. The car was then purchased privately and completely restored and customized. The producers of the video chartered the car and had it attached to the Amtrak Coast Starlight train (which runs from Seattle to Los Angeles) in Oakland and shot the video during the journey south to Los Angeles and back to Oakland the next day. “Wheels” features grand iconic scenery, informal performances and humorous vignettes about the band finding ways to stay entertained while on the road.
The video is being added on GAC Tuesday, July 22 and is currently in heavy rotation on CMT Pure. It can be viewed here:

Released June 17, Wheels, Tyminski’s sophomore album, made its debut at #1 on Billboard’s Bluegrass Album Chart and was named by Ken Barnes of USA Today as one of his favorites. The album has also been hailed in No Depression, Billboard, American Songwriter, Washington Post, Chicago Sun Times, Country Weekly and Dallas Morning News.
Tyminski became one of the most recognized voices in bluegrass music when the hit single “I Am A Man Of Constant Sorrow” and the O Brother, Where Art Thou? phenomenon took off. Suddenly, the reluctant star was out in front performing on the Grammy® Awards (taking home a trophy for Album of The Year among others) and shortly thereafter appearing on The Late Show With David Letterman, The Tonight Show With Jay Leno and many others.
Tyminski is currently on tour in support of the release of the new album and will be making appearances from coast to coast through the fall. For a complete list of tour dates log onto www.dantyminski.com.
