ABOUT ROOTS RUN WILD
Full of musical surprises, Roots Run Wild strikes the perfect balance between sweetness and ferocity with their blend of unique instrumentation, robust styling, and powerful vocals. RRW entertains and delights with intricate harmonies and a focus on spreading good vibes, embracing roots and folk music from the mountains to the islands, frequently sneaking into pop territory with their catchy melodies and hooks.
Known for their vocal teamwork, singer-songwriters KT Lee and Kelly Ann Fernandes use music to explore the challenges of finding your own way, personal growth, relationships, and developing a rich inner life and sense of self, always expressing a love of music itself and its incredible healing power. With Brandi Carlile-meets-Lucinda Williams-meets-Shakey Graves vocals from Lee, a former choral and oratorio singer and choir director, and incredible creative spirit and pure sparkling vocals from Fernandes, the two voices combine to create a one of a kind melange of remarkable intensity, depth, and beauty. Fernandes' willingness and ability to pick up new instruments and experiment with sound has allowed the duo to create interesting and exceptional music together. The addition of percussion and bass took the sound to a new level and together the foursome have grown into a formidable and energetic force since 2020.
KT Lee on baritone ukulele/vocals, Kelly Ann Fernandes on mandolin/guitar/vocals, Greg the drummer on percussion, Annette Almeida on bass.
