Rusted Root

American roots‑rock collective Rusted Root blends world‑beat percussion with folk‑rock melodies, creating a rhythmic, chant‑like sound that defined the late‑1990s alternative scene. Their live shows are celebrated for high‑energy jam sessions, extensive percussion sections, and audience‑participation sing‑alongs, making them a staple of festival stages and college circuits. In March 2026, frontman Michael Glabicki performed a stripped‑down duo tour with longtime collaborator Dirk Miller, revisiting classic Rusted Root material alongside new songs. As of August 2026, the band has not announced any new tour dates or upcoming performances, leaving their touring future uncertain.
