Sounds LikeRootsy, live music, with hiphop heavy grooves and rhymes played on acoustic guitars, harmonicas, violin, melodica and a splash of percussion over solid bass guitar and drum kit. Plenty of influence from everything from reggae, to latin to blues and folk-rock. Altogether creating something totally new and different.

   About Grassroots Street Orchestra

Bio

South-East Queensland locals, Grassroots Street Orchestra, have created a formidable reputation and a dedicated following throughout Eastern Australia with their captivating original sound, and intense, high-energy live performances. Their unique style is a potent mix of passionate, politically charged, eloquent hip-hop lyricism, underpinned by exotic, progressive sounds from a jaw-dropping live instrumental lineup.

Time Off called described them as "A thrilling and compelling ensemble with a slew of disparate influences and the intellect and artistry to unite them", as well as naming them "one of the best hip hop outfits in Australia".

With standout festival performances at the likes of The Big Day Out, Roots Rap Reggae, Island Time/Vibe and The Pro-Show, as well as huge shows supporting the likes of The Herd, Lyrics Born, Urthboy and many more, industry showcases, several east coast tours, a successful studio EP in 2007, and live EP in 2008 under their belt - and with a debut album on the way. There are big things on the horizon for this six-piece phenomenon, and nothing can stop them blazing their way towards it.
