Root River Jam weaves progressions of musical intimacy and passion through subjects about relationships, good times, self-reflection, and social cause.
We can't wait to be back at the Aster Cafe. Enjoy drinks and dine, while listening to Original Indie Americana music!
The band performs the original music of David Ross Wilson(guitar/vocals). Growing up the son of a veterinarian, he helped with work on many farms within the Root River region of MN. His mother taught David and his siblings to play piano and sing melody and harmony.
Singers David Ross and Charlotte Matis’s vocal fortitude highlight the bands’ ability to sing tight two- and three-part harmonies, encompassing a diversity rooted in folk, blues, country and rock music. The bands playful improvisational skills add new dimensions to their strong musical appeal.
Blake Bonde (Upright Bass) a Rochester native and graduate of the University of MN in musical performance. He brings an extended musical vocabulary to their songs! From furious pizzicato to lush arco sounds.
Charlotte Matis (Violin/Fiddle/Vocals) and established musician, teacher, luthier, and music store owner in the Twin Cities. Her fiddling and vocal skills add an exciting depth to their music.
Miles Johnston (Drums/Vocals) has a dynamic style and broad musical background. Bringing rhythmic finesse to their fusion styles. Miles lives just south of the Oak Center General Store near Lake City, MN. He has played with many groups throughout the region.
The group had their first gig in Lanesboro, MN in 2012. This continues to be a favorite area for the band to play. The venue they first played at appears in the song “Dirty Martini” about a bar upstairs. Listeners instantly connect with expressive melodies, improv, and interaction. Recalling the “Jams” of the past and renewing the dreams of the future!
