UPROOTING JT LAKE- SOULFUL HEALING by Ralph Renna Already making their mark the Syracuse New York band Root Shock, has been astonishing audiences since 2012. Defined as “Conscious, soulful, uplifting, even healing—that’s how many fans of Root Shock have described the band’s infectious sound and energy.

Performing is a power. When you have an instrument that you know how to wield, or a voice you know how to elicit a sweet tone from, you’re a superhero. You may be a mutant of natural talent, or an equipped super-soldier, but you don’t go to the bars or the clubs or the dance […]
