Stephen Murtaugh, Robbie Scruggs and Ben Dunlap have been rocking the Chapel Hill music scene as the power trio Transportation since the turn of the century. The first time I saw these guys at The Cave, circa 2000, I was hooked. They crank out a big, 70’s Rock sound, with killer harmonies and a loose, having-a-great-time stage presence that is positively infectious.
I thoroughly enjoyed their show in September at the Local 506, as they celebrated the release of their new CD, Daydreams. Check it out on their MySpace page. You can also listen to and download an earlier record, The Transportation Hour (free, for a limited time only), which includes the crowd favorite “Stormbringer”.
