Transportation (2)

Transportation is a rock and roll band based out of chapel hill, nc. Frontman and bassist, Robert Scruggs, guitarist, Stephen Murtaugh and drummer, Ben Dunlap formed the group in 1997, after moving to chapel hill from western Massachusetts, where they had played in numerous bands together. They performed their first show in the area at a Doublewide trailer in white cross, nc, barely fitting all their equipment inside after dismantling the woodburning stove to make room. From that auspicious beginning, they began playing regularly at the cave, appearing on "Live at the cave" on the People's channel. Shows at go studios and local 506 followed along with appearances on wxdu and wxyc, and they built a Loyal following out of the denizens of the chapel hill music scene. They have also played repeatedly in raleigh, wilmington And athens, ga. In the last year they have opened for neil diamond all stars at the cat's cradle and for ted leo and Pharmacist at go studios, and are looking forward to continuing to build a fan base in north carolina and beyond.
