B. Hockensmith Rootwire 2011 Photo Essay on JamBase

Rootwire Music & Arts Festival :: 08.04.11-08.07.11 :: Kaeppner Woods :: Logan, OH

Rootwire is the brainchild of up & coming electronic rock unit Papadosio. A statement on the festival website neatly describes what an innovative, unique experience the band is building:

Rootwire is a festival for the Freedom Fighter in all of us. It is a gathering of those who want to see change and reciprocate it. Welcome to the only festival that treats all art equal and all in attendance as VIPs.

Rootwire, brought to you directly by the members of Papadosio, was designed from the ground up as a means to show that big headliner names and corporate sponsorships are not what makes or breaks a festival. We have assembled the nation’s best up and coming transcendental artists, and will put them on the biggest and best stage/soundsystem they will be on this summer, in order to show that it is not who you are that counts, it is the quality of your art and the deepness of your message.

JamBase is pleased to present an extensive gallery of shots from this weekend and hopes to have a more detailed report of next year’s Rootwire for y’all.
