The Uprooted Band featuring
Michael Glabicki of Rusted Root

Michael Glabicki, lead singer, songwriter and guitarist for Rusted Root, has always believed that music can change the world. So much so that 30 years ago, Glabicki dropped out of college to start a band. Having no idea where he was going or how to get there, he spent two years learning how to write songs, and create a vision. That vision grew into Rusted Root, the multiplatinum band out of Pittsburgh, and Michael became one of music’s most unique voices.

With Rusted Root currently on hiatus, Glabicki has created new and powerful ways to keep the spirit of the performance and music going forward. Rusted Root built their career around dramatic performances; their polyrhythmic, multicultural rock-and-soul picked up fans like a junkyard magnet as they swept across the nation on tour. Glabicki continues to keep this tradition alive through his new projects; The Uprooted Band and The Duo Show with Dirk Miller.

Michael has been devoting his time to creating an entirely new soundscape. This band promises to bring back parts of the Rusted Root of old, but also include more percussion and female vocals. Uprooted is a liberating project for Glabicki. He says that the “decision to do (Uprooted) was liberating in a sense that I could really look at where I was in my own individual path and express where I wanted to go.” The Uprooted Tour will focus on the energy and excitement Rusted Root brought to all of their fans, and keep the spirit of the music moving forward.

This year, the band will be celebrating the 25th anniversary of Rusted Root’s platinum selling album, When I Woke, which contains the hit single Send Me On My Way, by performing the album in its entirety at their shows, along with some new material any Rusted Root fan will certainly appreciate. New music will also be released in the form of an EP leading into 2020.

In addition to the full band, Glabicki strips down to the bare essentials on a duo tour, where he and long-time bandmate Dirk Miller take the old Rusted Root favorites along with new material and perform re-envisioned versions of them in a more up close and intimate setting.

“We go into the crevices of the songs and expand them out and really just open up the music to whatever happens in the moment,” Glabicki says of his shows with Miller. “It’s completely improvisational, to the point where we surprise ourselves a lot. Things start to happen, and I start laughing. It’s like we’ve never heard it sound like that before. We have a great time with it, just as much as the audience is.”

A multifaceted musician, producer and songwriter, Glabicki’s talents are unique and extremely uplifting. His new projects and music are extensions of his creative talent, and will inspire all those who participate.
