The Wandering Roots Trio (Shawn Taylor, Jim
McKeeman, Chris D'Amato)
With National Steel slide, country finger-picking, harmonica,
hot metamorphic flat picking, rich harmonies, deep soul stirring gritty vocals, poetic blue collar verse and comfortable grooves;
the Wandering Roots Trio ooze American roots, with a fresh, new, original, old, familiar, sound.
Taylor and Mckeeman have been working together for over a decade, and it shows in their rich vocal
harmonies and seasoned guitar interweaving of two vastly different styles. And D'Amato can play around anyone and always add
without getting in the way of the song. He's a true tone master and a strong slide player and leads several songs a set, drawing
from his own original and standard country blues songs. Americana with wandering roots.

Quartet, quintet & counting...
Wandering
Roots is esentialy a musical 'tribe' that's grown around Taylor's body of original songs and fresh 'Americana' retakes.
Like the roots of the music they play, the cast of charecters are also wanderers by nature, alowing the songs and sound to
grow in diferent directions over time. Our counrty was born of wandering roots. Our music is born of wandering roots.
