Back to the 2000s: A Fundraiser for Roots Music Project


🎵 Rewind to the 2000s. Dance like it's the dial-up days. 🎵

Join us on December 18 at Roots Music Project for a night of pure 2000s nostalgia—iconic hits, dance-floor throwbacks, and the kind of community energy that made the era unforgettable. This isn't just a party; it's a celebration of music, memory, and the next generation of artists.



Doors 7:30pm. Show 8:00pm

Full bar on premises; Plenty of free parking; Lyft and Uber friendly!


What to Expect:

  • A live DJ spinning all your favorite 2000s anthems
  • No auctions, no speeches—just music that moves
  • Good vibes and great people


Tickets are $100, and every single dollar supports TEMPO, the Roots Music Project program helping young musicians ages 14–19 find their rhythm, voice, and stage.

This special evening is hosted by Gaya and Vinay Nair, Chiara and Tom Clark, Zach and Jess Zeldner, and Erika and Brad Ainslie.

Come for the nostalgia. Stay for the cause. Leave knowing you've invested in the future of music.
