LAFAYETTE, IN – This week the same spectacular venue bringing phenomenal bands like Bone Thugs-N-Harmony and Blind Melon to its humble Hoosier stage is making a musical celebration of mass proportions once again! On Wednesday, May 31 the Lafayette Theater will be hosting three unprecedented bands that alone could all be headliners in their own right, but together will be something akin to a melodic miracle. Soon the Lafayette Theater will be oozing with the sounds of funk, groove, rock n’ roll, and reggae as their house is filled with the magic of Stud Fox, 800lb Gorilla, and the amazing Roots of Creation!

This description in the midst of RoC’s online bio fits them perfectly, and most likely could not be said any better. It states, “Whether on the festival circuit, performing at jam favorites like Gathering of The Vibes, Wakarusa, Camp Bisco, and Closer to the Sun, or sharing the stage at sold out shows with some of their diverse influences including Slightly Stoopid, The Wailers, Fishbone, and Michael Franti, reggae/rock/dubtronica band Roots of Creation (RoC) offer up a high-energy, infectious experience. Recognized as a Top 20 artist on the Relix/Jamband radio chart, a festival staple, and an internationally touring powerhouse, RoC have been awarded ‘Favorite Jam Band’ by Cider Magazine and ‘Best Band In New Hampshire’ by the New England Music Awards. RoC mix their jam-reggae hybrid sound with homegrown roots, guitar-heavy rock, and lead singer/guitarist Brett Wilson’s introspective and conscious laden lyrics.”

Roots of Creation admittedly are stoked to check out the Lafayette Theater & Events Center, as well as their fellow performers Stud Fox, and 800lb Gorilla. The band is also excited to be setting foot in this Midwest neck of the woods for the first time, so it’s mandatory to come out in droves and show that Hoosier hospitality. Tickets can be purchased online now to come out, join the party, and help give ’em a nice, warm welcome! The air will be filled with the enchanting sounds of funk, groove, rock n’ roll, and reggae all night shortly after the doors open at 7pm. The show is an all ages event so invite friends and bring the loved ones because this harmonious wonder will definitely be a beautiful time for all!
