Formed in 1983 after jamming and communicating across the redwood hills, Rootstock''s musical style, based on roots-reggae and world-beat rhythms, has been described as "Eclectic", "World Class", and "Reggae with a rock edge".
2001''s CD release of "More Than It Takes" is a short sweet sampler EP of what the band has been up to lately. With new member Ellery Clark on bass, the CD also features backing vocals by local jazz woman Paula Samonte, and was recorded at Laughing Coyote Studio and co-produced by Spencer Brewer.
Rootstock has been actively involved supporting and performing at numerous political and environmental actions. Their humor and earthly philosophies are reflected through their environmental and political lyrics for which Rootstock is well known.
For over twenty years, performing at concerts and festivals in Nevada, California and Oregon, Rootstock has opened for such reggae greats as Third World, Israel Vibrations, the Congos, Zulu Spear, Messenjah, The Itals, The Wailers Band, and Burning Spear.
