The Route

"Driven by the fiddling of fourth generation Appalachian award winning musician Shawn Craver, the infectious groove of Joshua Luper's guitar, and the flatfoot dancing of Jeremy Blaes, The Route's sound entwines early Appalachian traditions with cutting edge modern arrangements sensitive to the centuries-old character of Appalachian and Western European fiddle music. The result is an eclectic, delightful, and irresistible mix of toe tapping jigs, rollicking reels, and haunting ballads that captivate and inspire the audience while reaching deep within the core of human emotion. The Route's first performance was in Wichita earlier this year and the band is already garnering national attention for their cutting edge arrangements of centuries old traditions.
