Few things ever grow tall without roots. For the members of Through The Roots, it tooka decade of inspired songwriting and heavy touring to develop the band’s uniquesound: a modern blend of roots reggae, hip-hop, rock, and electronic pop. It’s a soundthat nods to the band’s diverse influences while also reaching far beyond them, and itbegan humbly enough, with the guys hosting their own backyard shows in collegetowns across Southern California. Word spread. Crowds grew. Through The Rootsbought a renovated school bus and hit the road hard, graduating from college fratparties to larger clubs, building their audience, show by energetic show. Throughout itall, the band kept writing and exploring new sounds, working their way towards a trulyunique sound that blended tradition with technology.
