Gritty soul: the voice & guitar of James Speiser. Burning solos, sultry melodies: the tenor sax of Pattie Melt. A searing combination.
Roots & Rhythm forges a hot, live concert experience for fans of Blues, Roots, R&B, Jazz, Swing, & New Orleans Funk. And they don’t just love it— they live it. Once you hear any of James’ unforgettable stories from the bandstand, you’ll get how his experience has shaped the band’s original songs. Shaped jus’ right.
You’ll feel the influences of Ray Charles, James Brown, BB King, Buddy Guy, Stevie Wonder, the Meters, Louis Jordan, & even the Stray Cats! Roots & Rhythm brings you that down-home, old school vibe.
