Driving Route 9
East Haddam, CT | Established. Jan 01, 2018
Bio
The experience of the original music of Driving Route 9 (DR9), loosely fitting the description of Modern Roots/Americana with Celtic influence, takes their listeners to a place you simply can’t find anywhere else. DR9 was formed from the robust open mic scene on the CT shoreline.
While they begin their journey in New England, their efforts to extend beyond the region have yet to be heard while they record and produce their original music that was born in 2018. Their recent journey to Dublin to record and to integrate the talents of professional Irish musicians, specifically with fiddle and whistle, is truly creating an indescribable experience on their first upcoming record, “Matter of Time,” releasing in the Spring of 2019.
Driving Route 9 brings a high level of energy to its shows and is known to have some Celtic style audience participation.
DR9 is made up of:
Becca Gripp: Keyboard/Vocals
Barry O’Doherty: Guitar/Vocals
Paul Emmerling: Bass
Geoff Cox: Whistle/Flute/Saxophone
Jim David: Drums
