Redwood Roots SouLful rock reggae fusion
Our Story
Redwood Roots is a Bay Area band with a foundation of Soul, Alt Rock, Reggae and Fusion. When you hear this band, the music takes you back and moves you forward in time, all together. The lineage of the sound is distinctive.
The instrumentation is current with roots to the past. It's old school, new school. You feel like you've heard this music, but you haven't, because it's original. Occasionally, there is that cover tune with a surprise and a twist.
The stories being told will ground you and lift you up. All said, you are either living these stories or someone you know is experiencing them in their lives. So, there is always a connection, musically and or lyrically.
The Redwood Roots debut album, Finding Zion, is now available on 95 on line stores world-wide such as iTunes, Amazon, Google and cdbaby.com.
We look forward to an opportunity to introduce our music to you. We also invite you to share our music with your family and friends.
