Lazy Sunday Blues on the Patio with Roots & Rhythm.
Just featured on TV news KWGN 2 & Fox Denver 31

Top of the old-school R&B game, rocking out hits from Ray Charles, Stray Cats, James Brown, Stevie Wonder with some great swing and funky blues and New Orleans funk.
Feel the authentic sounds of the gritty and soulful voice & slide guitar of James Speiser and the incendiary saxophone of Pattie Melt that comes from 20 years of serious gigging together.
This versatile combo serenades and gets bodies movin' & grovin' with the real OLD SCHOOL DENVER SOUND!
Roots & Rhythm just opened for 4-time Grammy-winning singer Dianne Reeves featured live on KWGN 2, FOX 31 & 9 News, played the official after party of the Grammy-winning Rebirth Brass Band, debuted their original CD, Chi-Town on KUVO 89.3, and were featured in the film series Blue Roots Denver for the 5- Points Jazz Festival, Jazz on Film Series for the Denver Arts by the city of Denver and in episodes of Blue Roots Denver live on television.

James Speiser is a veteran of the Austin, TX, San Francisco, CA and Denver, CO music scenes playing professionally over 25 years. Originally he forged his gritty and soulful vocal and guitar stylings the hard way many years on the street in 15 below zero. After teaming up with Pattie Melt on Tenor sax over 16 years ago this dynamic duo forged the heavy hitting authentic blues, New Orleans funk and old-school R&B band Roots & Rhythm. James played the official after party of Colorado's biggest blues fest: Blues From the Top with Lionel Young, the world's only 2-time Champion of the International Blues Challenge of Memphis who has toured with The Rolling Stones & Stevie Wonder.
