Doctor Oakroot
Doctor Oakroot was born in a taxi with no brakes and, he says, "I been rollin' ever since... I rolled down to Hell... grabbed up the Devil by his tail and brought back these rough-edged songs from a dark place in the soul." Songs that will haunt your dreams.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I picked up a guitar and started singin'... and that's about it (well OK, I was 3 years old and it was a ukulele, lol)
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
As much as possible... everything from busking to big venues. It's all good.
Your musical influences
Well, I don't sound like my influences (even slightly)... I do sound (slightly) like Robert Johnson, Keb Mo, Muddy Waters, B B King
What equipment do you use?
Quirky homemade guitars and other homemade and found object instruments. This includes cigar box guitar and bass, gourd banjos, gourd jug/shaker, Tic Tac box kazoo.
