Friday, July 29, 2005 @ L.A. House of Blues is the blessed Rusted Root http://www.rustedroot.com

 

Rusted Root, of course, is the biggest and badest of the current bands that emulate 60's and 70's music (yet w/ it's own alternative primal twist for a timeless cleansing) - having been noted so in the press - and extensively touring w/ The Allman Bros. Band, Santana, Grateful Dead, Plant & Page, etc.. and, Notably, the only band to ever play at the original Woodstock spot all these years later (also stopping bye and playing Woodstock '99 while on tour w/ Jewel) - Jodie Foster had RR do a rendition of Santana's Evil Ways for her film Home for the Holidays - as well as RR's music being commercially used on many TV and film sountracks).

 

I look forward to continuing my on the road experience w/ RR and doing some video-ography - as RR is really on top of its game here - releasing its first live (double) CD on its own label Touchy Pegg - (while still gratefully enjoying all the distribution channels it would w/ its former labels Mercury and Island Def Jam) - receiving positively charged audiences on tour to support the new release. (what a story to tell).

 

Best intent,

John
