View Root Hog's EPK
Root Hog's sound can best be defined as 'Cosmic Americana', a term coined to represent key elements of American roots music forms and psychedelic rock & roll twisted together and packaged in a no-frills and honest manner. The band is dedicated to reviving live original music for everyone that can give their audiences that “feel-good” vibe that tingles from your head to your toes and brings a smile to your face.
In only one short year Root Hog has taken big steps finishing a full length album (to be released 8/1/2009) and completing two Midwest tours playing local hot spots like Bell's Brewery in Kalamazoo, MI, Goose Island Brewery in Wrigleyville and The Mousetrap in Indianapolis, IN and even landing a monthly gig in Chicago at Alive One (famous for their "all live jukebox").
Getting in front of new faces as often as possible has helped earn Root Hog a growing Midwest fan base that will continue to grow with the band's stern view towards constant performances, improvisation and the communication that can only happen with a live audience. "Work or Fail" is one interpretation of the phrase "Root Hog or Die", which the band took it's name from, that sums up the ethic and attitude that this Indiana group progresses under.

Howdy, Great listening to your songs and thanks for your friendship. I've been playing around with some different styles and just posted two new, original songs. "The Cowboy Way", an old school twanger is about heartbreak and driven souls. The other, "My Future Showed up Late", is a toe tappin' tale of hillbilly karma. Check 'em out and let me know what you think. Be well and stay inspired. Dexter
