On a warm night in Phoenix, locals are looking to let loose. Through the Roots is here to bring a little Southern California to the crowd. Listening to their set transports you to a warm and sunny beach in San Diego. You can feel the sand between the toes as you admire the backdrop of colorful lights the color of a sunset. As they play “Weekend”, the audience happily dances along. “’Cause baby this weekend, I’m doin’ what I wanna do.”
The lead singer constantly says how much he enjoys coming to play in Arizona. He always has a great time playing here. Another thing he loves is a good fog machine. The stage is constantly filled with a thick fog.
Late in the set they play “Higher”. “I believe that if we come together, we can get higher, higher, higher.” It’s such a beautiful song that puts a smile on everyone’s face.
They also played a few tracks from their new album, Arrival. The new songs sound great and prove that this band is still going strong. Their entire set kept a fantastic vibe going the entire time.
