Roots of Creation

ROOTS OF CREATION (RoC), New Hampshire based Reggae/Rock/Dubtronica quartet are on many people's radar as they continue to draw overwhelming numbers of fans to their performances in New England and around the country. This band is in the midst of recording their third studio effort (and compiling their second live release), and there is considerable attention surrounding the release(s).

The band is hard at work in their home studio doing overdubs/pre-production and writing new songs after some successful recording sessions at world renowned recording studio - Studio.Metronome with Producer/Engineer Pete Caigan. The album is scheduled to feature special guest International Roots Reggae Stars: Pato Banton, Ras Indio, Mighty Mystic, and more to be announced. The studio album is expected to be released in the fall of 2010. RoC are also selecting the best live tracks from the last year of touring, where they completed 3 national tours in the last 12 months. A live album is scheduled for a spring 2010 release.
