Come get some Funky Old Soul with Roots & Rhythm.Gritty soul: the voice & guitar of James Speiser. Burning solos, sultry melodies: the tenor sax of Pattie Melt. A searing combination.
Roots & Rhythm forges a hot, live concert experience for fans of Blues, Roots, R&B, Jazz, Swing, & New Orleans Funk. And they don’t just love it— they live it. Once you hear any of James’ unforgettable stories from the bandstand, you’ll get how his experience has shaped the band’s original songs. Shaped jus’ right.
You’ll feel the influences of Ray Charles, James Brown, BB King, Buddy Guy, Stevie Wonder, the Meters, Louis Jordan, & even the Stray Cats! Roots & Rhythm brings you that down-home, old school vibe.
Featured in the film Blue Roots Denver for the Five Points Jazz Festival “Jazz on Film Series”, Roots & Rhythm also debuted their original recording PREACH THEM BLUES live on KUVO 89.3FM.
Other highlights include:
• Opened for 4 time Grammy-winning vocalist Dianne Reeves

• Played the official Grammy-winning Rebirth Brass Band After Party in Denver
• Roots & Rhythm featured on channels KWGN 2 & Fox 31 Denver
Dynamic duo James & Pattie really turn up the heat when they get the full band together for a show.
