Bio

Welcome to 9 Mile Roots.  9MR is a seven piece Reggae/Rock band that slashes through the mold of normality.  When one of the members has a song or a riff idea, it goes through the 9MR filter; it gets tweaked, it gets shredded, it gets edgier or louder, sometimes it gets chopped completely, but it will always jump out the box as a killer groove with a unanimous stamp of approval.

With all members of the band coming from diverse backgrounds, each bringing an assortment of styles and influences along with them, the music produced has a strong reggae vibe with a cool bouncy flow and a bit of a rock edge; combining catchy melodies with strong riffs and a funky overtone. The original and undefinably distinct sound arises from a dedication to teamwork and respect between the divergently influenced band members. We strive to push the boundaries of modern music to provide a unique listening experience who's soul is deeply rooted in small town known as Nine Mile.

9 Mile Roots hails from the Baltimore area and is always up for playing the dock bars, the festivals, the dive bars, and even the private party.

So sign the email list, come out to a show, chat with the band, and check out the fat sizzle that will allow you to pound the alcohol with ease.  If there is a bar near you where you want 9 Mile Roots to explode, shoot the band an email.  Check back for more show dates!!
