Conscious,soulful, even healing—
That’
s how many fans of Root Shock have described the band’

sinfectioussound and energy. They
’
ve developed a

voice that transcends genre but can make anyone move their body and uplift theirspirit.
Spearheaded by the powerhouse vocals of Jessica Brown, the Root Shock sound is both commanding and
cathartic, but never at the expense of a velvety, carefully placed jazz orfunk lick or a deep reggae foundation. Phil
Grajko
’
ssmooth vocals complement his guitarstyle inspired by Latin, prog, and psychedelic rock textures—often
in tandem with mad keyboard genius Brian Lauri. Rounding out the band, bassist Elliot Jarvis and drummer Tyre
Outerbridge make for a formidable rhythm section fluent in patternsranging from reggae to funk to rock and
maybe even metal.
These songs are proof of the band’

s democratic songwriting process, with thoughtful lyricsfrom Brown and Grajko
that invoke hope in dark times, warn against injustice, and dare to dream ofsomething better. Always honest and
thought provoking. With multiple albums & EPs, music videos & East Coast tours,several Syracuse Area Music
Awards, the Root Shock sound continuesto evolve with a new album currently in the works.
