Happy Birthday, Pat Monahan! 

Pat Monahan, the voice behind Train’s biggest hits, is celebrating another trip around the sun—and let’s be real, his vocals are aging better than most of us. Whether you first heard him on Drops of Jupiter or got hooked when Hey, Soul Sister took over the airwaves, there’s no denying his impact on rock and pop music over the last few decades.

Since the late ‘90s, Monahan has been the conductor of Train’s unstoppable ride, delivering hit after hit with his signature blend of heartfelt lyrics, soaring melodies, and just the right amount of sentimental punch. He’s the reason rock fans secretly know every word of Marry Me and why Meet Virginia still makes you wonder who this effortlessly cool woman really is. And let’s not forget the Drops of Jupiter era—when he somehow made intergalactic heartbreak sound poetic.

Beyond the chart-topping singles, Monahan has kept Train rolling with reinventions, collaborations, and a dedication to making music that connects. His voice is still hitting those gravity-defying notes, proving that some things—like a killer falsetto—only get better with time.

And did you know…Train is touring this year? Check them out. 

So here’s to Pat Monahan—one of rock’s last great romantics, the mastermind behind a catalog of earworms, and the guy who made Train a household name. 

Happy Birthday, Pat! Keep on belting, and we’ll keep singing along. 🚂 

Stay cool, 

Sam
