   About Smokin Roots
"Smokin' Roots Crew blends acoustic reggae, folk, and blues with Dylan-esque, psychedelic rap lyrics. An entertaining live act with a modern beatnik aesthetic." --Salvador Reyes, Bay Area Underground. Vocalist/poet Joshua Tree and multi-instrumentalist Bill Wesley established Smokin’ Roots Crew in the summer of 2008. A veteran of Slam Poetry and several bay area Hip-Hop and Reggae outfits, Joshua Tree is influenced by 80’s and 90’s rap music and has drawn comparisons to alternative rockers Mike Patton, Beck, and Anthony Keides. Millican is also influenced by the cerebral spirituality of Roots Reggae, and the revolutionary spirit of 60's Folk and 80's punk. Bill Wesley is a musician with over 40 years of experience. Along the way, he has jammed with famous musicians including members of The Dead and Jimi Hendirix Experience. Wesley plays an acoustic baritone guitar which is a better match with Millican's natural vocal timbers. In addition to the guitar, Wesley plays the harmonica and the melodica during live sets (often at the same time!). Smokin’ Roots Crew is currently writing material for their debut album, will no official release date.

We used to be called "Mumrik" that was looking for a singer and now we finally found a singer and the band name became STM since we are working together at a distance of 6000miles from Leeds, UK to Kyoto, Japan.
We have uploaded 3 songs now. Check out how it works.
