Rockin’ The Roots

Exploring the world of roots music in all of its various incarnations, including folk and Americana, roots reggae, and elements of world music.

Drawing inspiration from traditional folks and blues, with splashes of jazz and regional influences such as Zydeco, Appalachian, Cajun, Creole, Afro-Carribean and New Orleans swamp music, Rockin’ the Roots bundle it all up and repackage it with a contemporary spin.

Featuring regular interviews and performances from touring acts Rockin’ the Roots also unearths Perth’s local talent and offers a gig guide to let you know where to catch the hottest roots gigs around town.
