THROUGH THE ROOTS, a high-energy San Diego, California-based group known for its easy-listening music with Cali-Reggae vibes and positive messages, sailed into 2014 with a fan-inspired new full-length album, a three-show stop with Rebelution, and the 2014 Winter West Coast Tour along with Tribal Seeds to start the New Year off with a bang.
The fast start to 2014 is only the beginning of what THROUGH THE ROOTS has in store for its thousands of loyal fans from across the United States and in Canada. The fast-rising band out of San Diego also has at least one nationwide tour and possibly two in the works as well as concentrating on bringing more new music to the popular genre. Through The Roots is currently working on next level music, and plans to leak it as early as Spring 2014.
Formed in 2006 in the basement of their Brooklyn home, brothers Tahir (keys), Courtney Jr. (drums) & Stephen (guitar) covered music by the likes of Bob Marley, Earth Wind & Fire, Dennis Brown, Michael Jackson, The Whispers and many more. The 3 brothers, under the watchful eye of their father and bassist, Courtney Panton Sr., called themselves, NEW KINGSTON. Together they incorporated R&B, Hip-Hop and Jazz with their heritage genre Reggae to form their infectious sound.
New Kingston started out by performing in other basements and small backyard parties around town, soon enough New Kingston began a heavy touring circuit supporting Reggae stars such as, Rebelution, The Green, SOJA, Matisyahu, Beres Hammond and Collie Buddz, while also securing spots on notable festivals such as, California Roots Festival, Reggae On The River, Summer Jam Germany, and Uppsala Reggae Festival to name a few.
