Heatbox!

If you don't know what beat boxing is, you soon will. Heatbox is the man with the mouth, adding a fourth level of originality to the mix.

Heatbox is part of the Root City family, and appears regularly with the band.

“By the way, it’s just ‘Heatbox’...” -Heatbox The band’s live show chronicals their musical journey, and although you can expect to hear cuts from their self-titled debut album, the band has recently incorporated several new songs to their set, including songs from their second CD; “A Many Too Few”, now available at any Root City show, or buy it online here.

The Root City Band plays events, festivals, and club shows throughout Minnesota and the Midwest, always winning over fans with their amazing desire and verve.
