A t least once a year, usually in the Spring, several Wepecket artists board "Vanessa," Jack's 1993 Ford van, and perform in concert halls, churches, houses, libraries, taverns and coffeehouses for three weeks or so. We have toured extensively in the Midwest, the Atlantic Seaboard and the Deep South, and will soon be expanding our reach into the Pacific Northwest.

Various members of our troupe hop on and off the "train," but the company maintains a corps of at least four and as many as nine performers who gleefully spread the word and song of America's cultural history.

Rolling Roots Revue shows conclude with an invitation to join in an on-stage jam session and sing-around. Folks who attend the shows don't just see a good concert, they participate in one!

Printable and/or downloadable brochures are available here(our Southern and Midwestern states touring group), and here (Northeast states touring group).

The troupe includes a number of members with academic credentials and classroom experience, making it ideally suited for artist-in-residence programs.

We are also experienced in performing at libraries, schools, assisted living facilities and nursing homes. You can download a brochure about our show tailored specifically for schools and libraries here, and for Seniors here.

Engaging and totally entertaining. The Revue was about getting back to the origins of modern music... stripped down and soulful. It was a memorable evening for us, and we hope the Rolling Roots Revue will call us "home!"

The big summer event as far as General Eclectic is concerned was the appearance of the Rolling Roots Revue on the show of June 10.

Having the Wepecketeers perform on two separate occasions at Honky Tonk House Concerts was having all that's good, real and organic about music in the house. Good folks playing real instruments and organic songs about the challenges, losses and victories that comprise the human experience. We won't miss a chance to book them again and you shouldn't miss a chance to see them.

– Jay Johnson, Honky Tonk House Concerts (Streetsboro, OH)

As you return home ... (after a) Rolling Roots Revue, you cannot help but feel as though you have kept a small treasure that will stay with you always: a genuine appreciation of the truly unique and expansive roots of the music that has helped to forge our country and an awe toward those who have been the creators of such timeless traditions.

– Ed Dugan, Steve's Backstage Pass (Taunton, MA)

I was honored to be in the midst of great musicians last night. Four masters of their genres, 'Ragtime' Jack Radcliffe; folk-song hunter Dale Robin Goodman; bluesman Sherman Lee Dillon; and ... Jim McGrath, from the Wepecket Island record label, were in Portland sharing their talents. ... I (was) struck by their skill, love of music and the fun and goodwill that they share with listeners.

– Kimmy Sophia Brown, Significato Journal (Portland, ME)

Thank you for your memorable and enthusiastic performance! As I received many positive comments about it afterwards, I've decided to ask you to do a repeat engagement.

– Lincoln Tripp, Director, Westport (MA) Historical Society
