The Rootspire Series
Rootspire 1: Phutureprimitive, Manitoa, Eumatik, Ethosine
Rootspire was Rootwire's first satellite concert, art, and heart series. Rootwire is a multi-day festival that happens only once a year, while Rootspire - and its evolution to current Rootwire-inspired events - seeks to present a highly condensed version of Rootwire in a variety of spaces throughout the year.
These mini events are essentially super concentrated Rootwires! The key elements of Rootwire: music, art, and love through ever smarter, deeper, and more joyful living will always be the emphasis of Rootspire and similar gatherings.
Our very first Rootspire was held April 18, 2014, and featured PhuturePrimitive, whose tapped-in music matches Rootwire's socially progressive agenda to embrace a technologically and consciously advanced future while yet paying homage to the rhythms and roots of our primal past. Concert-goers were rooted, wired-in and inspired during this evening of music, art, and spirit that was equally one part high-tech, forward-thinking future and one part beat-on-some-drums, gut-level primitive.
