Cornerstone Roots

Cornerstone Roots are a 5 piece conscious original reggae roots band from Raglan and have been together for about 18 mths. Having just returned from Nth & Sth Island Tours featuring shows with the Black Seeds, Zuvuya, Jamboree Sound, Karena & Bassteppa Sound System they plan a further 13 date NZ tour in Nov & Dec and have just picked 4 dates on the Trinity Roots Nationwide tour to kick off in September. Plans have been set for a video release to coincide with their summer debut album release to be recorded at Wellington's Surgery with engineer Lee Prebble.
With an ambitious attitude and a DIY approach Cornerstone Roots have been plugging away at the flax roots level getting their own unique brand of original reggae music out to the glo-cal community. On the wider context tracks are about to be playlisted on Roots & World Music radio shows in Hanover, Berlin, San Francisco and Australia with tracks being played on local Iwi and bnet stations nationwide.
