Artist description Gettysbrug Express is NYC's Finest Abraham Lincoln Tribute Band. GBX plays fast tempo punk rock. Our stage show is full of zany hijinks such as a punk rock version of the Emancipation Proclomation, an Ode to Abe's crazy wife, Mary Todd and of course a tell all account of the Civil War! GBX's stage show culminates with lead singer Abe Lincoln, being once again assasinated by lead guitarist John Wilkes Boothe. And that's before the set is 1/2 way done. Check out our live gigs to see which Famous Americans show up to sit in with Abe and the Gang. GBX plans on a major tour in the near future, driving around in a van, playing shows and solving mysteries.
