Rusted Root Brings Utter Joy

Rusted Root, the State Theatre, Falls Church, VA
September 25

The Pittsburgh-based Rusted Root always puts on a stellar, high-energy live show. With a heavy influence on percussion, the roots rock band draws sounds from world music, especially African rhythms, to create their infectious sound.

This spring, they released their first studio album in 7 years, titled, Stereo Rodeo. They interspersed a few tunes from this new effort at the show and threw in old favorites, as well as fantastic covers of Elvis Presley's "Suspicious Minds" and Neil Young's "Cinnamon Girl."

They closed the show with "Ecstasy," a song that feels so utterly good, it makes me jump around like a jellybean on crack. Rusted Root is music therapy. Left the show feeling light and joyful.
