Roots Music

Born of the acoustic art form, Roots music, also known as Americana Music, covers a wide range of styles including Bluegrass, Alternative Country, Old Time, Folk, Blues and Roots Rock.

Roots Music songs are REAL, RAW and CREATIVE! The roots approach to music emphasizes the diversity of musical traditions while creating community through song and thought. Roots songwriters and performers forge new directions, blurring and breaking the musical limits of commercial radio.
