Rusted Root + Assembly of Dust

Rusted Root is a tribal-tinged group that emerged from Pittsburgh during the mid-'90s jam-band craze. After seven years without an album, the band released its latest studio record, Stereo Rodeo, last year. Hand-drum happy rock isn’t our thing, but this band always offers its audience a nice big hit of positive energy. (Or is that the secondhand smoke?) Reid Genauer, a veteran of Vermont's Strangefolk, leads popular jam band Assembly of Dust.
