Reggae Funk Rock that erupts on stage, severing artist-audience barriers while summoning fans to join them in an awakening. RELIX
The 2013 New England Music and Cider Magazine Award Winners, Roots of Creation, mix roots and dub reggae with guitar-heavy rock and electronica, all wrapped around lead singer/guitarist Brett Wilsons introspective and consciousness laden lyrics. The band is raising the bar at every performance with the intent of delivering a true rock show cleverly disguised as a reggae dance bash with psychedelic and energizing lights. The techno-beam and LED tube lighting increases the already high-energy sound that Roots of Creation (RoC) brings to their audiences.
RoCs newest release, Live at Bella Terra Festival (. . . And Stoned at Church),captures the band as a five-piece, during a 10 show tour, from the east coast to Chicago to Eastern Canada, in August 2011. The stop at Bella Terra in Stephentown, NY allowed RoC to perform a high- profile slot directly after the headliner, The Mickey Hart Band. As thousands of fans poured from the main stage over to the late-night tent, RoC delivered a truly unique music experience with thumping reggae bass lines, piercing guitar licks, and an electronic-dub sound only this band could create. RoC travels with their own lighting designer, who put on a show of techno beams and LED tubes to match the music and vibe of Bella Terra as lead singer Brett Wilson demanded the crowds attention with his soulful lyrics and revolutionary calls.
Roots of Creation is made up of original members guitarist/lead singer Brett Wilson, keyboard player Tal Pearson, and drummer Mike Chadinha. RoC is currently touring with a rotating arsenal of bassists, horns, and auxiliary members to blow the audience away by enhancing the overall sound and energy. The band formed in 2001 with Wilson, Pearson, Chadinha and former bassists while attending Franklin Pierce College, and began touring heavily in 2004. RoC also tours with a rotating arsenal of horns to blow the audience away by enhancing the overall sound and energy.
Bolstered by a sense of its own colorful history and urged onward by the promise of a fruitful future, Roots of Creation has evolved into a musical force of nature. With a hard-working ethic and an arsenal of upbeat, substantial songs, RoC has ascended to the top of their profession by putting their fans first and doing business with focus and respect. Writers, DJs, talent buyers, colleges, and booking agents alike have joined RoCs steadily growing army of fans in heaping praise upon the New Hampshire band, and not just for the music the band has forged a unique connection with their listeners that provides concert attendees with a highly personal experience. They also walk the walk when it comes to activism and awareness, helping to benefit North Country Community Radio, Students for a Sensible Drug Policys Amplify Project, and Strangers Helping Strangers.
From addictive reggae pop songs to consciously charged roots rhythms and berzerk electronic improvisations, the grace and precision with which ROC execute their bass-heavy works is overwhelming. Their roots are tinged with rock, their rock brushed with electronica, and theyre as likely to dash off into a 10-minute guitar-led groove as they are to perform righteous vocal songs that resonate like the roots-rock classics of old (Homegrown Music Network)
Roots of Creation released the album Rise Up in 2006 and which features special guests Gordon Stone, Sam Kininger (Soulive), and horn player C-Money (John Browns Body, Slightly Stoopid). Live Vol #1 was released in 2008, which was followed by three national tours, extensive regional tours, and festival performances through 2010. The selections for Live Vol. #2 (2010) were chosen from the best performances of 2009 and 2010. In summer 2011, the digital single Different, featuring Rubblebucket horns, became available on iTunes. ROCs newest release Live at Bella Terra (And Stoned at Church) is a DVD/CD set (Spring 2013). The band is currently perfecting their next studio album.
