Dorset “Supergroup”* Route 66, Amie, Matt, Steve and Iain bring varied musical ingredients together and form a recipe that keeps you enthralled and dancing.
After an acclaimed set at New Forest Folk Festival 2022, Route 66 announced their arrival on the scene as purveyors of Folk, Roots, Country and Americana with a distinctly British twist. Singer/songwriters Amie Knight and Matt Griffiths combine great harmonies on each others’ songs: BBC Introducing rising star and BCMA nominee Amie Knight brings the country vibe with songs about relationships and boys and stuff. Matt Griffiths writes about the important things like pirates. They are accompanied on backing vocals and fiddle by Steve Faulkner, who is also known for jumping around a lot. Drums/Cajon and percussion expert Iain Mathieson holds the musical exuberance in rhythmic check. From Village halls to Festivals, Route 66 are gaining friends wherever they play.
