If this was England, Norman Hasman would have been knighted by the Queen. But as it is Rochester, he will have to settle for the admiration of his fans when he performs each Tuesday night in the summer along with String Theory at Johnny's Irish Pub on Culver. His story is a remarkable one. From his harrowing experiences as a flier in WWII where he was twice shot down and captured by Nazis, to his entrepreneurship and Toastmaster days, Norm loves to entertain with his own stories. Well into his 9th decade, he continues to play guitar and sing old country and bluegrass standards. He brings a young crowd to its feet when he performs at Johnny's. Flying his own personal planes, he is a seasonal migrator, back and forth between Arizona and Rochester. Norman Hasman & Friends Old Time Country and Bluegrass band have been opening the Ontario Barn Festival since 2009.

"...Waitin On A Train embodies the spirit of creativity as they, despite paying homage to an earlier time and sound, can craft songs as timeless and unique as the ones they cover....." Rick Noll - Bona Fide Records

"...I am most impressed with the amount of energy put into their performance. The instruments are played hard and the vocals often reach a fevered pitch.....
" Walt Crider - President, Seven Mountains Bluegrass Association
