AVAILABLE NOW!

Alright, although an extremely cheap attempt at making a serious and professional "looking" website to promote the new |TAPROOT| record SC\SSRS, and moving forward creatively here as a format potentially, most of you reading this far down know that \'m just a self-deprecating loser, and deal with emotions and life through sarcasm, and a lack of interests {minus family, hockey and trying to make people smile!}

Randumb musical fun facts while \ try to figure out exactly what \'m going to be doing on here down the road:

Did you know or care that-

*\ was the original drummer for |TAPROOT|?! In fact, not many people know that technically |TAPROOT| was somewhat of a local Detroit area all star band briefly in the mid '90s. Our original vocalist ended up moving forward pretty successfully with his band 20 Dead Flowerchildren and our original bassist went on to create and succeed as well with his band called Madhops

*\ began drumming at 5 years old, playing bars as a teenager underage

*\ taught myself how to play guitar at 12 years old to Alice in Chains, Metallica and Gwar, as well taught my |TAPROOT| co-founder/writer how to play and write as well

*\'ve had the pleasure of sharing the stage with the likes of System of a Down, Papa Roach, Deftones, Incubus, Nonpoint, Alien Ant Farm, Seether, Evanescence, Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, Slipknot, Mudvayne, Disturbed, Chevelle, Marylin Manson, Rob Zombie, Pantera, Ozzy Osbourne/Black Sabbath, KoRn, Silverchair, Metallica blah blah

*\'ve been the only fundamental |TAPROOT| music composer again since 2006! Our sixth album release "The Episodes" in 2012 [*collaboratively], was actually written prior to Our Long Road Home then released in 2007

*\ beat the pronoun movement by a decade {sorry EVERYONE} as \'d already claimed to be a sci-fi lesbian since \ decided to spell my newer personal alias/current album release title as the said sex act, based around my initials SSR's and hockey nickname growing up {aaand my affinity for science fiction topically, and the female genitalia typically haha}

.. 

*My "real job" for the last 8 years has been working with physically aggressive TBI {traumatic brain injury} and CMH {community mental health} clients, both of which \ am

*\ resigned from my work to do a batch of reunion/promo shows at the end of '23 and with upcoming shows in early/mid '24 (on the events page, \'ll try to keep up), hence \ will be using this as a platform to try new ideas and creative openings for a new way of supplementary income for the family to keep going while off 

*Why are you still reading this? *Thank you for Tapping in with the new Root (stupid joke yes haha.. \ am)
