Rusted Root’s fusion sound uses a strong percussion section that draws from African, Latin American and Native American influences. Lead vocalist and guitarist Michael Glabicki says, “We are a band made up of individual musicians who came together collectively to create music. Call it what you want but we are simply creating music that has a message.”
Formed in Pittsburgh in the early 90s, Rusted Root has sold more than three million albums worldwide, including the platinum-selling “When I Woke.” They have been on tour with Toad the Wet Sprocket, Santana, The Grateful Dead, Dave Matthews Band, The Allman Brothers Band and on the Jimmy Page/Robert Plant reunion tour. One of their songs, “Send Me on My Way,” was chosen as the “wake up” music for the Mars exploration rover Opportunity, and others have been featured in film and television soundtracks.
