FOLK-ROCK INNOVATIONS

ROOTES plays a progressive guitar-driven groove that fuses jazz, folk, rock and world rhythms to produce award-winning songs that are filled with energy and emotion. Songwriter, guitarist and singer, RAHEL, sings in a 'free verse" style with strong and expressive vocals supported by her masterful guitar work. JASON'S meandering bass groove safari takes you through traditional folk backwaters, to jazz, to blues and to strong currents of today's rock riffs. ANDREI, power drummer and percussionist, marks the beat with a creative rhythmic force that completes the dynamic sound. LIVE performances have been met with rave reviews.

"The music beckons, invites you to sit down, listen a while, let your thoughts float. This is the innovative sound of Rootes." - Telegraph

"I love it. It's the echo effect, the chanting and repeating of the same few lines in a sort of a round. It's hypnotic." - Jam Music Magazine

"The music of ROOTES adds a level of truth and sophistication that's unavailable otherwise." - Jan; Concertgoer

"It's the most original music I've heard." - Matt, enthusiastic listener

"I like the vibe you bring to the stage." - Randy, Shenanigans Music Coordinator
