Roots Run Wild is the eclectic trio of singer-songwriters Katie Lee and Kelly Ann Fernandes and the mysterious and elusive Drummer Guy! Local dynamo Annette Almeida will be sitting in on bass for a number of shows this season.
Full of musical surprises, RRW strikes the perfect balance between sweetness and ferocity with their blend of unique instrumentation, robust styling, and powerful vocals. The band plays a mix of original music, songs by other local artists, and a great blend of covers with a signature flair. RRW entertains and delights with intricate harmonies and a focus on spreading good vibes. RRW makes every song their own! Katie Lee on baritone uke & vocals, Kelly Ann Fernandes on mandolin/guitar/vocals, DG on percussion.
RRW is currently raising funds for a major recording project - thank you for your support!
