ROOTS ROCK REGGAE

Since 1999, Roots of Creation, a New Hampshire-based quartet, has skillfully mingled bouncy dancehall beats with political overtones. The result: reggae funk rock that erupts on stage, severing artist-audience barriers while summoning fans to join them in an awakening.“Music is the key to raising consciousness and spreading positive vibes,” says Brett Wilson (guitar, vocals). “Music has a power to connect people in a way nothing else can.” This belief motivated the band’s participation in several benefit concerts including the Peace and Justice Rally on the Boston Common, Save Sudan, Bands for Cans and Strangers Helping  Strangers. Their do-gooder energy has seen the band jamming with Sam Kininger, Gordon Stone and membersof the John Brown’s Body horns section. Rise Up, their latest, showcases these magnetic collaborations. “By 2010 we will be headlining Bonnaroo, touring internationally and have sold 1,000,000 CDs on our own label, Bombshelter Records,” says Wilson. “If that doesn’thappen, I will be happy with just continuing to give people songs to sing along with, lyrics to reflect on and music they can dance their asses off to.” www.rootsofcreation.com
