Artist Information
Biography
Hailing from all parts of the world, but located in Boston, MA, Red Rooster was formed based upon a strong friendship and a dually equal passion for music.
Their influences range from the head-rattling funk of Red Hot Chili Peppers, to the enveloping sound of Broken Social Scene, to the soul of musical forefathers like Stevie Wonder, James Brown, and George Clinton.
Their sound matches their personalities: a let loose, have a beer (or 8), and jump along sound. To check our the music and get more info visit www.redroosterband.com
