Details:
Blood Root Mother is an eclectic rock sextet from central MN. Their
previous albums have featured artists such as John Lecompt
(Evanescence), Phil Taylor (Future Leaders of the World), and on their
newest release, Michael Hampton (Parliament Funkadelic). The band has
existed in one form or another since 2003, but the current line-up of
the group has been playing together since the summer of 2010. The band
started as a trio with founding member Robert Newton, guitar and voice.
Bass guitarist Bob Kanawyer has been in the group since a couple of
years after its formation, singer and guitarist Ryan Gaskill joined
shortly after him. Current drummer Elliot Weiner has been with them
since 2007.

Blood Root Mother lost their talented and charismatic guitar player,
Tony Ellis, in 2009 when his life was tragically cut short. Tony's
guitar sound was often a defining element of their style, and as they
chose to continue as a group much of the old material was abandoned.
They were eventually joined by singer and multi-instrumentalist Barry
Costanzi, then guitarist Andrew Persons. The fruit of this group's
efforts, the album Mystic Machine, is to be released near the end of
2011.

Blood Root Mother stands apart from their peers in several ways. First
of all, the six personalities of the group pull the music in different
directions at once, resulting in a varied blend of styles such as rock,
blues, pop, funk, "progressive rock", ambient noise, pseudo-classical,
and "spanish reggae". They are rhythmically adventurous at times, with
influences from alternative metal, jazz, afro-cuban, and indian
classical music. Despite the wide array of sounds, however, the result
is a rock and roll band still within the contructs of English groups
like The Beatles, The Stones, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, King Crimson,
and Black Sabbath, as well as American groups like The Doors, Alice in
Chains, Soundgarden, Queens of the Stone Age, and Tool.

The band features careful vocal arrangements from three distinct
singers, Gaskill being considered the primary voice of the group. There
are sometimes less-than-typical song structures, and occasionally the
group indulges in over-the-top, aggressive musical passages. Listening
to a Blood Root record is often more like watching a film or having a
story read to you before nodding off into a strange yet familiar dream.
They are truly becoming a gem of the Twin Cities independent music
scene.
