The Lyric Theatre Presents

ROOTS! Featuring Uproot Hootenanny and The Kregs

Two of the Treasure Coast’s hottest bands playing their most unique distinctive sounds:

UPROOT HOOTENANNY

If it is roots based music, Uproot Hootenanny plays it.  Uproot Hootenanny is a five piece acoustic string band from Deerfield Beach, FL featuring a five-string banjo, mandolin, guitar, fiddles, dobro, upright bass, and great vocal harmonies.

Their styles range from hard driving bluegrass to Celtic/Irish, Americana, rock & roll, blues, and folk.  They write a lot of their own material, and they are known for a very high energy, entertaining and uplifting performance every time they play.  They have been described as “a band you can work up a sweat just listening to”, and will get your toes tapping and your feet moving!

Uproot Hootenanny has had a busy year in 2011, from touring in Ireland playing the Bandon Music Fest and touring the northeast U.S. playing festivals and clubs regularly, as well as playing four nights a week in South Florida.

THE KREGS

The Kregs are Stuart’s ultimate garage band with decades of combined experience – these guys created a musician’s bandUninterested in playing overdone songs, they developed a diverse and quirky pallet of obscure cover tunes, however their true passion is crafting original music.  Sit back and enjoy their catchy hooks and get into the groove.
