I couldn't even tell you how many shows of theirs I have been to. I was working with them for an entire tour and then attended plenty more on my own. They have been my favorite band for 10 years, and for good reason. Every single song they have released has meant something special to me. Whether it's the lyrics themselves or at the time that I heard a particular song, I was going through something specific in my life. Either way, if you listen to any -or all- of their previous five albums (Gift, Welcome, Blue-Sky Research, Our Long Road Home, and Plead The Fifth), you will develop a personal connection to their work, as well. When it comes to their live shows, you'll just have to see it to believe it. They are so committed to giving 100% to their fans. High energy is an understatement. I must warn you, though: Once you start going to Taproot shows, you might become addicted...like me :) So try to catch them this month before they disappear again to complete their 6th album, "The Episodes" (working title). I'm taking the road trip from NYC to Ohio for 3 shows. Hope to see you there or at future shows. You can thank me later.
