Root 1 is Afro Caribbean American crossover (mostly reggae) featuring soulful vocal harmonies and quality songwriting from all members of the band including the world class drum and bass team of Michael Wong and Bassie Liburd (the dance floor is always full), topped off by the multi instrumental (keys, guitar, flute and violin) excursions of Jerry Stevens with Deborah Huff on guitar and violin. 'Love Dub and Guitars' is the name of their just released 5th CD. Root 1 was voted #1 world music group in the Austin Jazz Players and Critics poll. For the past 9 years they have been touring their unique mix throughout the U.S. and Mexico. The Root 1 CD Roots Trade has been widely distributed in Brazil by the Garra Communications label.
