The Alternate Routes

The Alternate Routes were formed as an outgrowth of a meeting between songwriting partners Eric Donnelly (lead guitar) and Tim Warren (lead vocals, guitar) at Fairfield University in Connecticut. Expanding to a five-piece and based at one point in Boston, the band was working out of Bridgeport, CT, by the time their first album, Good and Reckless and True, was issued by Vanguard in 2007. The album emphasizes straightforward guitar rock, with occasional gentler songs more in the singer/songwriter style.
