Root Nine

Formed in 2011, Root Nine (Rick Schiffman, Jeff Vetstein, Todd O'Neil, Matt Barber and Michael Lee) is a unique blend of indie and jam band rock. With influences spanning a variety of genres - including alternative Rock, Jazz, Latin, and Jam band - the Root Nine sound can't be easily categorized. Although many songs are driven by intricate guitar harmonies and improvisation, the emphasis is on crafting songs that have a complete sound rather than favoring any one instrument. Root Nine tries to take tunes to an unexpected plateau where the rhythm and melody fuse. Every member of the band is a songwriter, and this collaboration gives the band a unique sound that is truly the result of the entire group. Ladies and Gentleman, this is Root Nine. Enjoy the ride.
