Welcome to another addition of Nostalgia Monday. So far, we have produced entries on Men at Work, "Dyno-Mutt" and "The Waltons." Today we continue with a voyage to a not-too-distant past with the Pittsburgh-based band Rusted Root which never became as big as other bands of their era (the 1990s), like Oasis, but they did develop a loyal following of fans who followed them around and call themselves Rootheads.
The band will perform tonight at the 9:30 Club in Washington, DC.
Rusted Root consists of lead singer Michael Glabicki, Jim Donovan, Jenn Wertz and Liz Berlin among others. They have each pursued outside projects and some of them are no longer with Rusted Root.
The band formed in 1990, and made their independent label debut with the album "Cruel Sun" in 1992, which was followed by "When I Woke" in 1994.
Their biggest hit was "Send Me On My Way," which you can hear in this Youtube video which features the band performing in Rhode Island.
I first heard of Rusted Root through an internet friend in Fairfax, Va., who was originally from Pittsburgh. She was definitely a roothead as she would usually be out of town because she wanted to see them perform somewhere on the east coast.
In those days, meeting women like her through the net seemed cool. Today, it seems either silly or dangerous! I made the huge mistake of sending her my high school yearbook photo. I never heard from her again.
