Intuit today announced that Train
will be the headlining musical act at the upcoming QuickBooks
Connect event, taking place in San Jose, Calif., Oct. 21-23, 2014.
The band will close the main day of the conference, celebrating the
thousands of entrepreneurs, small businesses, accountants and developers
looking to take their business to the next level in attendance.
The San Francisco-based band Train made its first mark on music history
in 2001 with the Grammy Award-winning song “Drops of Jupiter (Tell Me)”
and chart-topping singles like “Meet Virginia” and “Calling All Angels.”
The band earned its third Grammy in 2011 for the worldwide smash “Hey,
Soul Sister” from the album Save Me, San Francisco. Train just
released their new album, Bulletproof Picasso, which debuted at
#5 on the Billboard Album Charts, and features the hit "Angel In Blue
Jeans."
Train’s performance will be the conclusion to a jam-packed agenda
prepared for attendees on Wednesday, Oct. 22. In addition to the
end-of-day celebration, the event will feature business luminaries such
as Martha Stewart, founder and Chief Creative Officer of Martha Stewart
Living Omnimedia; Marc Andreessen, cofounder and partner of Silicon
Valley venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz; Earvin “Magic” Johnson,
