Grass Routes is a Connecticut five-piece bluegrass band. Since 1980 they have been delighting audiences with a repertoire ranging from traditional bluegrass standards to folk and contemporary songs all performed in their own unique bluegrass style. Skillful instrumental work and strong vocals give Grass Routes their own characteristic sound. Showcasing especially tight harmonies, vocals include duets to four part harmonies. What make Grass Routes unique is that each member sings lead. With five lead vocalists, Grass Routes presents a different style and material with each vocal arrangement.
Members of the band include Joe Lemeris, banjo and dobro;
Bill Reveley, mandolin and fiddle; Marilyn Toback-Reveley, rhythm guitar; Dave ‘Tex’ Orlomoski, lead guitar; Joe DeLillo, upright bass. Grass Routes has appeared on radio and television and performed at major concerts and bluegrass festivals throughout the Northeast. Grass Routes currently has four recording projects. Their musical style appeals to audiences of all ages.
The band members enjoy each other as friends as well as musicians. Their latest music project, SOMETHING NEW, features a wide range of material from the likes of Bill Monroe, Nickel Creek and James Taylor, all done with that Grass Routes flair.
