Don Haddock has been playing and writing songs since he was 15 years old. Originally from San Diego, Ca., He grew up playing Rock and Roll in a 3 piece power group. He took a break from music to try and make a career as a professional baseball player. By the age of 28 he knew he had gone as far as he could with baseball and got back into writing and playing music again. He joined a Bluegrass band as a rhythm guitar player and vocalist and performed throughout San Diego County for about 5 years. He later moved to Orange County for a job and to raise a family. It was here he started playing and writing Country Music and eventually started a band called "Free Reign". Free Reign played all the Honky Tonks and local bars in Southern California for about 8 years. The band was nominated for country band of the year, and Don Haddock was individually nominated for "songwriter of the year".
Today, Don haddock's music is being performed exclusively by "THE TRAMP IRON RAILROAD. The band went into the studio in May to record their 1st album which was released by Christmas 2013. They just released their 2nd album recorded at Vulcanic Studioz in Costa Mesa,Ca. entitled "IN THE WIND" in June 2015...Both albums are available at Amazon.com and itunes..
We are currently working on our 3rd studio album to be released around Christmas 2018
