October 2020
Hello dear friends and fans, how are you doing? We sincerely hope you are all doing fine.
We enjoyed our first events and weekend tours the last month. It was so much fun to see y’all joining these events/tours & supporting all the promotors and bands. THANK YOU!
Fall started with some new retrictions concerning the fight against the pandemic but we’ll try to keep it positive. In the meantime we decided to keep on sending out our newsletter and booking offers as we strongly believe our world will recover some day from the viral crisis.
We updated the Rootstown website. Check out the new layout, hope y’all like it. www.rootstown.be
Events in the pipeline: hopefully soon …. more info asap.
We also took our time to listen to all the great bands who sent us their music and info.
