Revolution reggae music – edgy, raw, natural, roots… They are Rootz Underground. That is their sound.
Many influences have borne their ‘rootz’, including their homeland Jamaica – birthplace of Rastafari and other radical movements, JAH – creator of all things, family, the earth in all its glory, the revolutionary 70′s, Dub and Roots Reggae music.
The revolution that is Rootz Underground began in 2000 when the band members, whose lives had crossed paths sometime or another from childhood, linked their individual musical talents in search of forming one solid unit. The Rootz Underground revolution emerged on the scene in a blaze of high-energy performances and conscious lyrics.

Willkommen to Frankenmuth’s 54th Annual Bavarian Festival It’s not just an event… it’s a feeling of “Gemutlichkeit”, combined with the warmth and friendship of Michigan’s charming Bavarian Village.
