Grassroutes

Hobgoblin Stage, Saturday 2015

Grassroutes

Grassroutes are a four piece band from leamington spa. The band have an unusual sound thanks in part to the Jamaican descent of vocalist/rhythm guitarist Jay Hall and his reggae inspirations. Linking up with lead guitarist Ben Knight, a long time school friend, the pair started indie rock band The Royal Players. It was the seed and gateway to the emergence of Grassroutes, with line-up changes over the years subsequently bringing bassist Justin Bygrave, and drummer Jimmy Barnwell into the band’s fold. Year and a half on from its start, the band is still earning a potent reputation for their live performances and now working on their debut album.
