Ground Score was formed in 2000 as a Phish cover band. After a couple line up changes and a year of practice the band was covering other bands including Ween, The Doors, Adam Sandler, The Rolling Stones, Los Lobos, and writing original music.The band is ever growing and changing and more focused on original music then ever before.

Ground Score consists of Tom Lienhardt on Guitar and Vocals, Johnathan Dugan on Bass & Vocals, Mike Katchmark on Keys, sounds, and vocals, Graham DePouw on percussion, and finally Robert Grunwald on Drums and vocals. Each person brings a different musical background including heavy metal, jazz, folk, pop, prog rock, rap, and jam rock. Through years of practice and playing out these influences have come together in the unique sound known as Ground Score.
