Rusted Root has sold more than 3 million albums worldwide. Formed in Pittsburgh by singer/guitarist Glabicki in the early ‘90s, Rusted Root’s worldly style quickly charmed fans of roots music and world rock. After debuting in 1992 with the self released Cruel Sun, Rusted Root signed with Mercury Records and released the 1994 platinum selling breakthrough When I Woke, which featured the hit songs Send Me On My Way, Ecstasy and Martyr. Not long after, the band scored on tours with Toad the Wet Sprocket, Santana, The Grateful Dead, Dave Matthews Band, The Allman Brothers Band, HORDE Festival and, perhaps most notably, the highly coveted support role on the landmark Jimmy Page/Robert Plant reunion tour.

The hard-touring Rusted Root returned in 1996 with Remember, which was followed by 1998’s Rusted Root. After some time off the band re-emerged in 2002 with Welcome To My Party. After leaving Mercury/Island Def Jam Records, the band’s sixth album, Rusted Root Live was released in 2004, the second album on its Touchy Pegg label, following the re-release of the newly remastered Cruel Sun in 2003. Along the way, Rusted Root has also issued three EPs (Evil Ways, Live, and Airplane), a home video (Rusted Root Live) and miscellaneous film and TV soundtrack tracks (Twister, Mathilda, Home For the Holidays, Party of Five, Charmed, Homicide, Ice Age). Rusted Root will be touring throughout 2009, playing their new music as well as some of the faithful fans favorites.

Rusted Root will be releasing Stereo Rodeo, their first studio album since the band's 2002 release, Welcome To My Party on May 5, 2009. The album will be available digitally on March 13, 2009. "We named our record Stereo Rodeo after a song that I started writing back when we were recording our last studio record. It’s really just a great name,” says band founder and leader Michael Glabicki. “We were all just so into the music,” says vocalist, percussionist Liz Berlin about the recording process, “the synergy and excitement on this album is so fresh and energizing.” “It is one of the most powerful albums we have ever recorded,” agrees Patrick Norman, who holds it down with bass, vocals and yes -more percussion.
