This new Grateful Dub album is like bread and butter for your ears…
The band partnered up with the legendary five-time GRAMMY-winning producer and engineer, Errol Brown, known for his work with top reggae greats such as Bob Marley, Rebellion, Peter Tosh and many more. The RoC crew went back to their hometown in Brookline, New Hampshire to spend 16 hours a day in the studio for 10 days to accomplish the goal they set out for themselves back in January 2017. Together – with dedication, passion, talent and special guests Stephen Marley, Marlon “Ganja Farmer” Asher, Fortunate Youth, and G. Love – they created this amazing conglomerate tribute album.
With the album release on the horizon, some special guests are also planned to be part of the fun onstage with Roots of Creation as they perform around United States! Melvin Seals and Scott Guberman will be taking turns joining the ensemble to give fans a fantastic Dead dub treat! The Grateful Dub Tour was launched February 7th in Port Chester, New York at the Deadcenter: A Bob Marley Birthday Celebration, debuting the band’s hard work. RoC, along with Kash’d Out and The Elovaters on select dates, continues to tour from coast to coast through the middle of May 2018. Make sure to look for them at a venue or festival near you. Roots of Creation will also be bundling pre-sale Grateful Dub CDs and/or merchandise with every advanced ticket purchased. Shows will definitely be selling out so be sure to get your advance ticket and/or bundle purchase at www.rootsofcreation.com.
