Bio
Junk Ditch Road is a roots-based, rock/folk group out of Phoenix, Arizona. After forming as an acoustic duo in 2002, JDR has evolved through several lineup changes, with the core of TJ Casey (lead guitar, vocals), Terry Kottom (banjo, vocals), Cody Roe (guitar, vocals) and Scott Gunshore (drums) intact since '03. The current lineup includes Rich Maston (keys, dobro, vocals) and Ryan Roe (bass). With influences ranging from The Band to Warren Zevon to Old Crow Medicine Show, you'll find lots to like at their live shows, from tight 3-part harmonies to rocked-out jam classics to good ol' banjo breakdowns. JDR has released two albums of original compositions: Junk Ditch Road in 2003 and Climbing Trees in 2006. Both albums reflect not only the diverse influences, but also the common threads running through the band. Junk Ditch Road is 6 guys from the Midwest and East Coast who found some magic in the great Southwest, and plan to keep sharing that magic, live and on record, for many years to come.
