**If you are looking here between 11 am – midnight PST May 27 – 29 the player below will be streaming a live video from California Roots Festival**

Starting at at 11 am PST today, tune into Rootfire.net to catch the official live video stream of California Roots Festival, featuring performances from some of our favorite artists including Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley, Stick Figure, The Green, The Expanders, HIRIE and more. The video player has been optimized to work on both the desktop and mobile version of Rootfire.net.

That said there is no substitute for live music; without it I would not have been born (literally)… My parents met 35 years ago this month at a Third World concert in Rochester, NY. I will always have non-digital reggae experiences to thank, so if you’re able come on out to the fest and join us, it’s one of the best weekends of reggae music happening in the entire world. GET TICKETS

But, if you find yourself somewhere closer to Wellington, NZ, or Naples, NY, the live video stream is the next best thing. Plug in your computer or phone to a 1/8th inch jack and pump the tunes on your stereo.

Thank you to LiveList for reaching out and giving us the opportunity to host the video, but most of all thank you to the amazing folks at Cali Roots including Jeff, Dan, Amy, Al, Ben, Crystal, Ernie… Without your friendship and kindness, I don’t know if there would have ever become a Rootfire. Seriously.

If you are reading this and you are at the fest, the Rootfire tent is set up right next to Stick Figure and a tent down from The Green. We will be chilling with new friends and new merch all weekend long. Come say hello.
