To support the release of their new album 'Free Yourself'
released 11 June, Cornerstone Roots announce a 3-month nationwide tour.
The 7-piece reggae/roots group from Whaingaroa, Aotearoa formed in 2001. This album is the bands second full-length release following on from the 2003 release of ‘Soul Revolution’ and two previous EP’s ‘Forward Movement’ (2004) and ‘One Fine Day’ (2002).
With contemporary message orientated lyrics & catchy riffs, the Corners have been building a solid fan base and a reputation for creating a timeless vibe at their live shows. Fans are either working up a sweat dancing up a storm, or bugging out to the more chilled vibes. A typical live performance will showcase a variety of styles and moods from a rhythmic syncopated groove to a bass driven onslaught.
In the past the band have opened for Jamaican legends Burning Spear, Toots and the Maytals, Michael Rose with Sly n Robbie, Lee Scratch Perry & the Mad Professor & Jimmy Cliff. Festivals played include SoundSplash, Alpine Unity, Kaikoura Roots, Rhythm & Vines, Destinations, Best of Reggae Noumea, World Expo Japan, Grey Lynn Park Festival, Phat Outdoors, Queenscliff, Byron Bay Bluesfest, Apollo Bay, Kuranda Reggaefest, the 95bFM Summer Series, One Love and the Parihaka Peace Festival.
