Route .44

As the two began developing their roots-inspired sound, they started to feel limited with their lineup. Over the course of the next 2 years, Route .44 has grown to an eight piece orchestra. Each member brings in their own influences and experiences. Playing throughout New England - from the Middle East in Boston, to Club Alchemy in New Haven, sharing gigs with talents as varied as Ashanti and Herbal Nation - they have turned many heads towards their captivating and conceptual sound. Not content to be pigeon holed into any specific genre, Route .44 pulls from influences ranging from the dark, broodiing vibes of Morphine to the foot stomping revelry of an Oktoberfest beer-garden.

The eight members hail from every corner of the country. From Seattle, to L.A, Missouri, and Rhode Island each member brings a vast amount of musical knowledge and experience, and most importantly a shared vision. With influences ranging from Rockabilly, to Classical and Techno, the unique sound that you hear in Route .44 is the sound of 8 lives culminating within a musical entity, unifying to create one sound which they can call their own.
