Roots Round-up Interview CKTZ LB

Louis Belcourt/CKTZ News - The Gorge Harbour Marina and the Gorge Hall have both booked Roots Round Up this weekend for two shows.

The prolific Vancouver based band haven’t played Cortes since before the COVID-19 pandemic and have never played back-to-back shows on the island.

Originally formed in 1985 in a small apartment in East Vancouver, Roots Roundup became more widely known through the late 80s and early 90s with their constant touring and high energy music. On their website, you can find videos of their first show on Cortes back in 2014.

On Friday, June 28, Roots Round Up will play at the Fireside patio at the Gorge Marina and on Saturday at the Gorge Hall.

They recently reunited to finish their new record titled Up Rooted, and released it earlier this June.
