About The Roots
The Roots ignite stages with a revolutionary blend of hip-hop and live instrumentation, channeling Philadelphia’s gritty soul into a sound that’s equal parts jazz improvisation, funk grooves, and razor-sharp lyricism. Questlove’s masterful drumming and Black Thought’s poetic flows drive their eclectic energy, creating performances that feel alive and communal, drawing crowds into a rhythmic dialogue that transcends genres. With seven Grammy wins, landmark albums like ‘Things Fall Apart’ and ‘Undun,’ and their pivotal role as The Tonight Show’s house band, they’ve headlined festivals from Glastonbury to Essence, collaborated with icons like Stevie Wonder, and delivered a memorable Super Bowl halftime show, solidifying their status as hip-hop’s enduring innovators.
