Upcoming Shows and Some Band Updates…
Hey folks…hope this summer is treating you well! As you’ve likely noticed, things have slowed down a bit for WR recently. This is largely due to the fact that our fearless friend, Bass player and Wayward Roots co-founder Alan Barnosky has moved to North Carolina to further his higher education. We are all sad to see him go and will miss his many contributions to the band. Best of luck Alan and thanks for all the memories and laughs!!!
As we transition to life without Al, we are pleased to announce that our good friend and local Bass sideman extraordinaire John Sperendi will be stepping in to fill the void indefinitely. John brings many talents to the table and we are excited to add his musicality and energetic spirit to our efforts.
Speaking of efforts, check out the Shows tab for some great upcoming shows. Here is info on our next performance:
The Ark – 8/19 – 7:30 pm (doors at 7) – This one’s been a long time coming. We are very excited and honored to be headlining at this local treasure on one of our favorite stages. We will be joined by special guests “Adam Plomaritas & Chris Dupont” who will be providing some soulful duets with and amazing harmonies. You don’t want to miss this one!
More info to come on additional shows and we hope to see many of you at the Ark! As always, thanks for all of your positive energy and support!

Just a quick note that our good friend Jess Richard took some photos of our recent Canterbury House performance, and we must say we’re pretty happy with how they turned out. You can find these photos on our Media page. For more of Jess’ photography, be sure to check him out at TheDirtStreet.com.

Ernie’s Saloon is like no other. Tucked away in what used to be part of a barn, the space features turn of the century antiques, a wood-burning stove that kicks out the heat, and some mighty fine whiskey. Luckily Ernie puts up with us, so we occasionally use his Saloon as a glorified practice space. Last time we we’re there he suggested filming some tunes. This is what we ended up with, enjoy!
