Shallow Roots are a Bristol-based band playing (mostly) dance music fusing Afro, Caribbean, Spanish, Latin and Western pop. The combination of horns and guitars make a great sound. The music is intimate and gentle yet also rhythmic and highly danceable, while the (mostly) self-penned lyrics have a political edge - an uplifting take on the wider world and a realistic look nearer home. Jonathan Hyams (guitar and vocals), Rob Vasey (guitar and vocals), Romilly Gibbs (soprano sax), Carol Arnold (alto sax), Jamie Darwen (tenor sax), Rosalind Moreno-Parra (vocals), Tina Holmes (bass guitar), Jeremy Arnold (drums).
