Friday Night Headline Band “Red Roots” This band is a really talented, great treat for the entire family! The lives of three, red-headed, identical triplet sisters are best summed up in the band Red Roots. With now a second album “Middle of Nowhere released, Red Roots has developed a sweet, pop-country sound while incorporating an inspirational message. Their journey of growth can be heard and seen through the band, but was ultimately shaped by their “roots” of family, faith, and music.
