The third musical act of the evening is Rusted Root, a rock band with a Woodstock sound who released their debut album 15 years ago in 1992 entitled Cruel Sun. The original band formed in Pittsburgh was a big hit with club goers, but its unique, polyrhythmic style scored them tours with legends like Santana, The Grateful Dead, Dave Matthews Band and The Allman Brothers. Over the years, the band has crossed over into TV and the big screen writing tracks for films including Twister; Mathilda; Home for the Holidays; Homicide; and Ice Age and for the TV show, Party of Five. After six album releases and 3 million albums sold, the band continues to tour averaging 125 shows a year. Find out more about Rusted Root www.rustedroot.com.
