DARK ROOTS formerly Johnny STRAWS is a local band that writes and performs Original Rock and Roll Spanning Several Genres, (Blues Rock, Punk Rock, Grunge Rock, Alternative Rock, and Rock Ballads). DARK ROOTS also performs Cover Songs also Spanning Several Genres however, they put their own spin on it while staying true to the Original songs composition, and lyrics, for example, they cover the song STAND BY ME by Ben E. King, however, they add an edge to the song instead of playing it clean you'll hear a dirty-crunch sound coming from the Guitar played by Barry Weymouth, a harder, tad more complex drum composition by Joseph Campbell, and a funky, deeper bass sound played by Shaun Green, and of course the well known, crowd-pleasing raspy vocals coming from Johnny STRAWS himself, STAND BY ME has a refreshing Punk'ish feel to it. Johnny STRAWS, Singer-Songwriter for DARK ROOTS formerly Johnny STRAWS had asked friends of his that played in the local band called Tru Dilemma Formerly Truman's Way if they would back him up by playing the songs that Johnny had written at a local talent show, needless to say, Tru-Man's way all agreed and played the local talent show and it was a huge hit...people loved Johnny and his songs so much that Truman's Way was essentially two bands both bands Truman's Way and Johnny STRAWS shared the same musicians Barry Weymouth on Guitar, Bill Mealy on the Bass, and Thaddeus Lavelle on Drums. When Truman's Way played out their singer was Truman Gilbert (Singer/ Songwriter) for Truman's Way and when they played a show with Johnny the band name was Johnny STRAWS. Things were going well for a short time until the difference of opinions and growing weary of being in two bands things finally came to a head when Barry Weymouth left Truman's Way. Barry and Johnny started looking online for potential drummers and bassists until they finally decided on Shaun Green and Joseph Campbell. Johnny didn't want the band to be named after him anymore and was looking to change the name, something that would describe the type of songs he writes, after hours and hours of researching online band names that weren't taken already Johnny brought to the next band practice some names he had come up with and the vote ended up with them choosing DARK ROOTS. DARK ROOTS was formed in 2013 and they have been playing paid gigs consistently since mid-2015 and are booked almost every weekend in 2016.
