Receiving a standing ovation and encore (as an special guest for our Kevin Costner show on 4/27/2012 ) should say it all. These talented musicians have received national radio play over the past two years and have toured all over. Special guest Jen Lowe is one of the finest singer/songwriter/acoustic guitarists to have ever graced the Infinity Hall stage as well, making this show one not to be missed.
The Alternate Routes’ name suits them well. They’re a band that‘s never really fit in — in a good way. Without a definitive genre to reference or an established scene to rally behind them, they’ve been something of a rogue wave in an ocean of bands. They built a fan base the old fashioned way, by driving around the country in a big, white Ford Econoline van, winning crowds over one-person-at-a-time with solid, catchy songs and an explosive live show. Since their genesis in 2004, co-founders Tim Warren (vocals, acoustic guitar) and Eric Donnelly (lead guitar) have taken their group through the dizzying heights and frustrating lows of the modern music industry, and have learned some valuable lessons along the way.
