Brace yourselves — the train is pulling into town!  On Saturday, May 9, Wayne “The Train” Hancock brings his Tornado Alley Tour 2026 to The Sherbino for one unforgettable night.

Dubbed the “King of Juke Joint Swing,” Wayne Hancock is a living torchbearer of authentic American roots music — blending honky-tonk, western swing, rockabilly, and blues into a high-octane, dance-floor-ready sound. His shows are fast, fierce, and unapologetically old-school, delivered with the kind of grit and groove that only comes from decades on the road.

This isn’t just a concert — it’s a full-throttle, boots-on-the-floor, swing-the-doors-open kind of night. Get ready. The Train rolls in on May 9.

About Wayne Hancock:  Thomas Wayne Hancock III (born May 1, 1965, in Dallas, Texas), better known as Wayne “The Train” Hancock, is an American singer-songwriter. Known as “The King of Juke Joint Swing,” he incorporates jazz, blues, western swing, country, and rockabilly, styles he began listening to as a kid. His influences include Jimmie Rodgers, Glenn Miller, Tommy Dorsey, Hank Thompson, Hank Williams, and Hank Snow, all of whom were in his parents’ record collection.

Throughout his childhood, Hancock moved around seven times because his father was a Design engineer who worked at various engineering firms around the United States. Shortly after discovering country music, Hancock began writing songs at the age of twelve. Hancock’s vocal style was initially influenced by Hank Williams, and he has been compared to him throughout his career.
