The Roots, the legendary Grammy Award-winning hip-hop crew and arguably the hardest working musicians in popular culture, continue to break the mold 25 years after the band was founded. The brainchild of childhood friends Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson and Tariq “Black Thought” Trotter, The Roots began their career playing bucket drums and freestyling on the street.
Their impressive career has now evolved to include a weekly gig as the house band for “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon,” hosting sold-out jam sessions across the country, collaborating on new works for contemporary performances (Lincoln Center, BAM, Kimmel Center), and consistently churning out Grammy®-nominated albums!
