About the Band:
ROOST is a musical powerhouse of high octane chemistry and genre-defying creativity. Their story began in 2022 at Hartford’s iconic Half-Door. Dwayne, Jeremy, Tim, and Talia began playing together every Wednesday night, bringing their wide-ranging influences and eclectic tastes to life in a fun, high-energy setting. What began as a local cover band quickly evolved into something much more: a dynamic group of musicians who became fast friends and began crafting original music that draws from their shared love of psychedelic rock, blues, and funk.

With Talia’s commanding, soulful vocals at the forefront, and a rhythm section that grooves as hard as it rocks, ROOST brings a sound that’s both modern and nostalgic. The band’s lineup—featuring Jeremy’s blistering guitar work, Tim’s smooth, intricate bass lines, and Dwayne’s powerhouse drumming—has earned them a reputation for creating unforgettable live performances that stretch genre boundaries. In each performance, nostalgic classic rock is combined with a fresh, contemporary twist that is uniquely their own. 

Covers & Originals:
ROOST has built an extensive repertoire of classic covers, offering renditions of songs by legends like Jimi Hendrix, The Temptations, Susan Tedeshi, and The Dip, making them a favorite choice for events of all kinds—from festivals to private parties to the local bar scene. But it’s their original music that truly sets them apart. The band has been hard at work in the studio, with a slew of new tracks slated for release soon.

What’s Next:
Stay tuned for the release of their upcoming original tracks, including “Borrowed Blues” which is scheduled to drop in February 2025, as ROOST looks to take their music to new heights and bring their unique blend of rock, funk, and blues to a wider audience. Whether on stage or in the studio, the future’s looking bright for these rising stars from Hartford.
