BBCIntroducing – David White “What voices River Roots have! ‘Destruction’s simple and frankly stunning. Nice job” BBCIntroducing – Sarah Gosling “What. A. Song. River Roots show us how it’s done with ‘Don’t Need Sleep’ – it’s infectious, it’s raw and just effortlessly cool” Quest Festival “We’ve had River Roots play twice now at our festival and they have been nothing short of wonderful. Inspired lyrics with a really joyful vibe – they get the crowd going and are often named as a favourite act from our punters.” Jump Ship Promotions – Niamh Mcgowan “If ever there was an ep that was the perfect soundtrack to relaxing on a beach somewhere, this is it. With a soulful voice and a simple guitar sound ‘sight from inside’, the latest ep from Singer/songwriter Matt Montez, is the smoothest and lightest sound from an acoustic artist I have heard for a while.”
