   About Roots Collective
Roots Collective is Madison's Best Roots Rock Reggae band! The band has been playing around the Madison, WI and surrounding areas for almost four years. The music is positive reggae music that speaks to the hearts and minds of all people no matter what race, age or background. Our repertoire combines classic and current reggae hits with a growing list of original compositions. Some artists we pay tribute: Bob Marley, Aswad, Dawn Penn, Judy Mowatt, Burning Spear and Peter Tosh. Our originial compositions are hard hitting storyteller-like songs with catchy hooks that stay with the listeners long after the show. Some of the Roots Collective members have shared the stage with many heavyweight reggae acts such as: Eek-a Mouse, Justin Hinds, Steel Pulse, The Long Beach Short Bus, Natty Nation, The Gibraltar Rockers, Tony Brown, Aswah Gregory and the Enforcers and Yabba Griffiths, Reason for Leaving, Jose & Sumlimes and Supa Ranks & his Rockstone High Power

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING:

"Your performance was joyful, uplifting and professional" - Maggie Weiser, Event Coordinator WORT 89.9 FM Madison

"The sound of Roots Collective is roots, rock, reggae. The addition of trumpet and saxophone has blessed the righteous riddim section making this sextet "the" roots band of Madison. If your preferences in reggae music are Bob Marley and Aswad, this is your night for live reggae music." - DJ FRP Tropical Riddims Sound System WORT 89.9 FM

"Reggae, breezy island grooves, and a soupcon of funk and fusion are on the menu at this dance happy event" - The Ithmus Newspaper

"One band that certainly deserved high praise was Madison's own Roots Collective. Great reggae band." - 77 Square WI State Journal on playing 2008 SOCO Music Festival
