Root Deco's Music
With roots that run deep into the decaying DC club grind, Root Deco made its mark as an eccentric trio embellishing its blues, country and retro-rock covers with psychedelic, Celtic and Eastern flourishes. Today the influences linger but the music is original. The sound is “decorative roots” or Root Deco. The wry musical vignettes are grounded in hard-won experience and spin the emotional compass from chronic unemployment to the alien agenda.
