Roosevelt Dime
Seamlessly combining the groove of classic feel-good Rhythm and Blues with acoustic Americana instrumentation, Roosevelt Dime has crafted a signature style truly their own. The New Orleans clave rhythms of Tony Montalbano's drums and Craig Akin's syncopated upright bass lock in with Andrew Green's innovative banjo style, equal parts boogie woogie piano and bluegrass picking. The swampy chords and swinging blues lines of Eben Pariser's semi-hollow body electric guitar thicken the sound further still. This rich musical alchemy is topped off with Pariser's searingly soulful vocals, belted and whispered with a passion and panache straight from the juke joints. Roosevelt Dime is an Americana band in the truest senserather than dwell on the divisions between the elements that make up the genre, they seamlessly merge the shared and varied musical traditions into a unique sound that's both timely and timeless. Hailing from Brooklyn, New York, they got their start in the age old New Orleans street busking tradition, only it was the bustling avenues of the Big Apple rather than the Big Easy that first nurtured their sound. All walks of life were drawn to the joyful musicality, infectious positivity, and crowd-sourced spontaneity at these revelries, and this literal grassroots community-building stuck with the band as they took their joyous beat from the city's parks and subways to seek that same heartfelt connection with audiences worldwide. Armed with original songs of hope, love, and conviction that sound birthed from the cradle of American music yet still crucially relevant to the times in which we live, their performances are a perpetual crowd pleaser (NY Times) in any setting.
