Back and Better Than Ever: Train

You've been hearing their hit song "Hey, Soul Sister" all over the radio, and now you can hear it on Ellen! After taking a break for a couple years, Train is back with a new album, and showed that they're better than ever!

In the early '90s, Patrick Monahan and Rob Hotchkiss met in San Francisco. Both had recently left bands, so they decided to form their own. They recruited Jimmy Stafford, Charlie Colin and Scott Underwood -- and together they created Train. Unable to convince a record label to sign them, by the late '90s they began opening for the Counting Crows and Barenaked Ladies. They pulled together enough money to finance their own debut album, "Train." It worked -- they soon made a deal with Columbia Records.

With the support of the label, Train released their second album, "Drops of Jupiter," to incredible success. The first single of the same name spent over a year on the charts, and earned the group two Grammys. The album went multi-platinum and Train found a huge following on tour. They followed it up with the album "My Private Nation," which contributed two more Top 10 hits and several songs that were used in films, television and commercials.

Following the release of "For Me, It's You," the band took a break for several years to spend much-needed time with family and friends. The break worked -- they marked their return with the new album "Save Me, San Francisco." The first single "Hey, Soul Sister" has made it to the Top 10, and you can find out why when you watch their performance on the show!
