The Movement
by Rusted Root
2012
Famous for their unique fusion of acoustic, rock, and world music, a dynamite percussion section that draws from African, Latin American, and Native American influences, and relentless touring, Rusted Root has sold more than 3 million albums worldwide and garnered legions of followers who call themselves “Root Heads.”
The band has toured with the likes of Toad the Wet Sprocket, Santana, The Grateful Dead, Dave Matthews Band, The Allman Brothers Band, HORDE Festival, and, perhaps most notably, the highly coveted support role on the landmark Jimmy Page/Robert Plant reunion tour.
Rusted Root’s music has been featured in movies and TV shows such as Twister, Mathilda, Home For the Holidays, Party of Five, Charmed, Homicide, Ice Age, and even on the 2012 Olympic telecasts. In fact, NASA engineers chose "Send Me On My Way" as “wake-up” music for the Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity.
