At the center of the band Digging Roots is the chemistry and songwriting of ShoShona Kish and Raven Kanatakta who produce a sound somewhere between the lines of roots, rock, hip hop, and blues. Kish and Kanatakta are both superb vocalists and Kanatakta is considered one of Canada's most expressive guitarists. Digging Roots won the Galaxie Rising Star Award in 2007 and the 2009 CAMA (Canadian Aboriginal Music Award) for group of the year.

 
  Opening is Kingston's favourite country roots rocker Rueben deGroot - "Rueben deGroot writes country songs for jazz bands"

Sat. March 27 - Octave Theatre 8 pm 

Royal Wood with special guest Melissa McClelland

    Royal Wood has quickly established himself as a tremendously engaging live performer, with comparisons to the early Elton John and Tom Waits. His considerable play on CBC radio as well as a Bravo TV special has introduced him to Canadian audiences and when he comes to Kingston, he will be just home from a headlining tour of UK and Ireland. Melissa McClelland, who will open the show, will be just back from a sweet little trip herself. She is part of a Caribbean boat tour that includes Emmy-Lou Harris, Lyle Lovett, Steve Earle, and John Hyatt!
