About Route 358

"We want to be recognized as the string band that focuses on lyrical storyline and stays true to our sound, on stage and in studio”-Route 358

​Route 358 began as a jam session at the kitchen table. Then a trip to the studio to record a live performance video of the song “Alone Tonight” started the Americana artists on their current trajectory. 

358's sound can be described as a blend of folk, pop, rock, country and bluegrass with songs that tell tales of love, love-lost, ghosts, prohibition speakeasies and the roads they travel together.  

Songs from their first two albums "Only The River Knows" and "Lantern's Light" earned the band nominations for Americana Artist of the Year” by the Arkansas Country Music Awards as well as a showcase selection for the Folk Alliance Mid-West and John Hartford Festivals.

​For the past two years the band has been touring playing venues and festivals in Arkansas, Colorado, Nebraska, Indiana, Missouri and Texas and are set to release their third album "Fragile Hearts" in September 2019!

Route 358
Route 358 can be described as an Indie Americana/Bluegrass band that expels a rich sound. The music made by Fayetteville natives will take you through a romantic guided imagery...... A comforting feeling that can be received through music, Route 358 will stir those emotions.
