Rusted Root
The quintessential live band, Pittsburgh’s Rusted Root celebrates their 20th anniversary this year.
Formed in the early 90’s by singer/guitarist Michael Glabicki, Rusted Root’s worldly style quickly charmed fans of roots music and world rock. To date they have released 7 albums and sold over 3 million records worldwide. After debuting in 1992 with the self released Cruel Sun, Rusted Root signed with Mercury Records and released the 1994 platinum selling breakthrough When I Woke, which featured the massive hits Send Me On My Way, Ecstasy and Martyr. Their huge success allowed the band to tours with Santana, The Grateful Dead, Dave Matthews Band, The Allman Brothers Band, HORDE Festival and, perhaps most notably, the highly coveted support role on the landmark Jimmy Page/Robert Plant reunion tour. In 1996, the hard-touring Rusted Root returned with Remember, which was followed by 1998’s Rusted Root. In 2002 the band reemerged with Welcome To My Party. In 2004, the band released a double live album aptly entitled Rusted Root Live; This double set was the second release Rusted Root’s Touchy Pegg label, following the re-release of the newly remastered Cruel Sun in 2003.
Along the way, Rusted Root has also issued three EPs (Evil Ways, Live, and Airplane), a home video (Rusted Root Live) and had songs placed in film and TV soundtrack tracks such as Twister, Mathilda, Home For the Holidays, Party of Five, Charmed, Homicide & ice age. What was indubitably a first
for Rusted Root was that NASA engineers chose Send Me On My Way as "wake-up" music for the Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity, for Sol 21. Send Me On My Way was most recently used in a set of Enterprise Rental Car commercials in 2011 & 2012.
In May 2009, Rusted Root released Stereo Rodeo, their first studio album in 7 years. Of Stereo Rodeo, band founder & leader Michael Glabicki says ;"We named our record Stereo Rodeo after a song that I started writing back when we were recording our last studio record. It’s really just a great name,” “We were all just so into the music,” says vocalist/percussionist Liz Berlin about the recording process, “the synergy and excitement on this album is so fresh and energizing.” “It is one of the most powerful albums we have ever recorded,” agrees bassist/vocalist Patrick Norman.
The band is currently in the studio recording their new album, tentatively titled Fortunate Freaks, after a song on the upcoming release. Due out for a summer 2012 release, the disc will mark the groups 20th anniversary year. “Our last record was to let people know that we were back and were making music again,” Glabicki said. “With this new one, we’re not only back, we’re back to our old selves. [the new album] is very danceable and energetic,” he said. “It’s happier than the last record but, more than anything, we returned to our rock roots. I think it’s something fans will be happy with. We have a few more songs to go, and we’re really hoping this will be out in the summer.”
To help support the making of this new album, Rusted Root created the “Fortunate Freaks Unite! We are Rusted Root Campaign.” This fan-funding campaign provided the fans the opportunity to contribute to the making of the album, while receiving some once in a lifetime opportunities. “Rusted Root is a state of mind shared and explored by many people- we are a community that supports one another. The fans are as much a part of this as anyone. It is an interesting time in history and fan funding is a great way to point out the obvious; we are a band that relies on the energy of our fans.”
As to what you’ll hear at an upcoming Rusted Root show, “We’ve been working on a new album, so our set is a really cool mix of old classic Rusted Root and the new songs,” Liz Berlin says. “It’s been fun to play them. A lot of the development of (the new album) has happened on stage; what fans have been into has helped with the direction of the songs.”
Rusted Root will be touring relentlessly throughout 2012, playing their new music as well as some of the faithful fans favorites.

Recorded in deepest darkest Snowdonia with producer David Wrench (Bat for Lashes, James Yorkston), the album captures the infectious energy, raucous rum totting fun and sing along sun-smacked smiling feeling that a Skinny Lister gig always provides.

So come along for the ride, we are Skinny Lister…Haul away, Haul away!!

Mr. Right
Mr. Right is an alternative pop band based out of Denver, Colorado. The sound of Mr. Right can be characterized by it's soaring vocal melodies, crisp acoustic guitar lines, powerful drums, warm keyboard lines and lyrics about life, love and the pursuit of happiness.
Before the formation of Mr. Right, Adam and Jarrod Barraza have been playing music for nine years. Through the instruction of numerous teachers, Adam Barraza has been able to craft his drum playing to a unique and powerful rhythmic force that lays the perfect percussive foundation to the Mr. Right sound. Jarrod Barraza's technical approach to the guitar and vision of Mr. Right has been an additionally key asset to their distinctive sound. Playing primarily on the acoustic guitar rather than the electric, Jarrod utilizes the warm overtones and crisp colors of the instrument to drive the alternative pop sound of Mr. Right. The final piece of Mr. Right is Drew Torres. Drew adds his bright vocals and warm keyboards to complete the Mr. Right sound.
The name, Mr. Right comes from the combined feeling of all three members of a band with a sound that ‘feels right.' Mr. Right have played shows around the Denver/Fort Collins areas at venues such as: The Aggie in Fort Collins, The Marquis, The Lion's Lair, The Bluebird and Quixote's True Blue in Denver, and 3J's in Johnstown. Denver's modern rock KTCL (channel 93.3) has also presented Mr. Right at 1515 club and on the "locals only" radio show.
The Mr. Right sound has also been described as "Fun and Energetic" says Elena Curtis of the Scene Magazine. Whether the setting is a theatre, a bar or even a coffee shop, Mr. Right's alternative and acoustic approach to pop music is one that will turn heads.
