Rural Route 3 is an all original, bluesy, funky…A Straight-Up Rock-n-Roll band from Tacoma, WA.  The band features a slide guitar, a groovy bass, and a tommy-gun drummer… all of whom combines to form an edgy energetic style of music. the release of our 3rd CD, The Bad Monkey Blues Band, demonstrates the power of original song writing, a diversity of musical influences and the energy of live rock n’ roll. While Rural Route 3 focuses on original material, we have been known to delight our fans from time to time with a unique twist on a cover song.
