With DIRK MILLER on Guitar & Vocals, ZIL FESSLER on Drums, SHAWN HENNESSEY on Percussion, ERIK KRAMER on Bass and DAISIE GHOST FLOWER & EMILY VICTORIA on Background Vocals, The Uprooted Band is a liberating project for MICHAEL GLABICKI (Lead Singer, Songwriter, Guitarist). He says "I looked to the past and imagined where I wanted to go and realized this band is the perfect vehicle to take me there." This tour will focus on the energy and excitement Rusted Root brought to all their fans, and keep the spirit of the music moving forward!

MICHAEL GLABICKI, Lead Singer, Songwriter & Guitarist for Multi-Platinum Selling RUSTED ROOT fuses musical mastery and shamanic inspiration into his music and live performances. In his most prolific period to date Glabicki is focusing his energy on his new band, THE UPROOTED Band, to carry on the legacy of Rusted Root's energetic music while recording new music. To honor the past, Glabicki will be performing songs from the Multi-Platinum Selling album WHEN I WOKE. Rusted Root's 'When I Woke', spawned the Top 40 Hit "Send Me On My Way" along with fan favorites "Ecstasy" and "Martyr" and went on to chart on Billboard's Hot 100. "Uprooted has masterfully expanded the landscape of the older Rusted Root songs and created a new intuitive and magnetic vision of the material" says Glabicki, "These inspired performances not only energize and expand the hearts of the crowds but also show us how to take the music to the next level".
