Spirited and infectious, Acorn Roots combine the simple and rhythmic beats provided by the Cajon, which are complimented by the walking bass lines, and the rhythmic tones of the acoustic guitar and mandolin, which are interlaced with the soaring melodies provided by the whistle and fiddle, topped off with the strong lead vocals and harmonies.
This formula has helped this Derbyshire 7 piece forge an incredible reputation on the live circuit; not only as an act to be reckoned with but as an act that exudes a sunny side up attitude that will entertain anyone within earshot. Good times are guaranteed.
Since forming in 2011 Acorn Roots has gone from strength to strength. Their collective influences encapsulate music ranging from traditional folk, pop, Celtic, punk and ska. Their set list is a heady blend of time honoured classics with a few hidden gems.
Over the years they have amassed over a 150 gigs in the 5 years with some memorable moments and in unique locations.
Acorn Roots are equipped to play a variety of venues; whether it is a small pub, a train or a festival stage, either amplified or acoustic, they are able to provide entertainment in any format. Their gigs provide a relaxed, friendly atmosphere and they thrive from a receptive audience and actively encourage crowd participation.
In essence Acorn Roots are bringing back the traditional pub sing-song! If you are looking to see a refreshing band that adds something a little different, performing covers in a unique style, then Acorn Roots are the band for you.
