Rusted Root is a band hailing from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, best known for their unique fusion of acoustic, rock, and world music—a sound they themselves have referred to as "tribal folk." Formed in 1990 by frontman Michael Glabicki, Rusted Root has a reputation for percussion-heavy arrangements, jubilant harmonies, and a globally inspired mix of instruments. Their reputation soared with the 1994 platinum-selling album "When I Woke," which featured the hit single "Send Me On My Way." The song gained widespread popularity, subsequently being featured in movies and commercials, propelling the band into the international spotlight.

Over the decades, Rusted Root has maintained an enthusiastic following, touring extensively and releasing albums that celebrate their dynamic approach to music-making. "Remember," released in 1996, dropped on the heels of their initial success, continuing their journey in the world music scene. When "Welcome To Our Party" came out in 2002, followed by "The Movement" in 2012, the band affirmed their commitment to energetic performances and messages of positivity and unity. Throughout the changes in the music industry, Rusted Root has stayed true to their artistic vision, gathering a dedicated fan base enchanted by their rhythmic, soulful, and upbeat performances.
