My Boy's Band - The Valley Roots

[It Takes Eleven]

Hey, I wanted to put in a shameless plug for my son's band The Valley Roots. They're out of Muscle Shoals and are early in a 15 city tour taking them through Georgia, Tennessee, the Carolinas and Virginias with an incursion above the Mason-Dixon Line into PA and Ohio. They are a Muscles Shoals Sound band, a classic rock/R&B genre. There are some older poor quality videos of them on YouTube, but they just set up their own channel with a real music video. Please take a look. These two songs are some of their more tame offerings - they do rock out. Tour info is below as well. They also have an April tour developing for Florida, dates TBA.

Thanks,

Tim

Just got back from the show. Real nice group of folks. Tim, your son is AWESOME on guitar. Very talented.

My boyfriend and I ended up sharing a table with the group and enjoying dinner and drinks together. It was kinda funny, since we're all the same age.

I have some pictures and videos, the Valley Roots were seriously great. I can really see them becoming big. Hope they enjoy the rest of their tour!
