River roots on SoundBetter

I'm a full time musician in the band River Roots, a vibrant mix of roots and alternative acoustic, with hints of folk and reggae beats. We have performed across the globe at festivals such as Glastonbury, Boomtown and Bali Spirit. I am looking to be involved in more projects out of my current circles.

Personally I have recorded 2 solo EP's, 2 albums as River Roots and featured on 2 albums in collaborations.

I can sing lead vocals or harmonies.
I can play guitar.
I can also play didgeridoo.
My partner Gem can also provide female vocals, percussion and shakers.

Tell me about your project and how I can help, through the 'Contact' button above.
