***SOLD OUT*** Rusted Root Returns To State College 4/7

***UPDATE***
The Rusted Root concert scheduled for April 7th IS NOW SOLD OUT!!

Rusted Root has been making the rounds for over 20 years touring the country spreading their grooves with anyone who was willing to dance. Here is some more info about Rusted Root including some videos of the band:

Michael Glabicki founded Rusted Root upon returning from a post-high school trip to South America in 1988. After a false start with one group of musicians, he called Berlin, an old friend with whom he'd collaborated previously, and asked her to sing with him. Through her came drummer Liz Donovan, with whom she'd taken an African drumming classes (this being a prerequisite Glabicki had established). Donovan recruited Patrick Norman, another classmate, to play guitar (he'd later switch to bass guitar, helping shape Rusted Root's rhythm-centric sound). A year later, multi-instrumentalist, visual artist and bicycle messenger John Buynak and vocalist Jenn Wertz, originally hired to photograph the group, signed on. Buynak's distinctive artwork would give Rusted Root a strong visual image. Rusted Root would adopt a hard-touring way, their polyrhythmic multicultural rock and soul sound picking up devotees like a junkyard magnet as they swept across the nation. In 1990, they self-released a CD, Cruel Sun. The disc attracted Mercury Records which signed the band and released When I Woke (1994). Two more records (Remember in 1996 and the self-titled third in 1998), three EPs (Evil Ways, Live, and Airplane), a home video (Rusted Root Live) and miscellaneous film and TV soundtrack credits.
