Estonian slide guitarist Andres Roots, who will celebrate both his 50th birthday and his 30th anniversary on stage in 2026, “sounds like a trio” (Blues-Finland.com), delivers “a masterclass in flowing acoustic blues and roots music” (RnR Magazine), and “gives the blues a radical new face” (Songlines). He has played everywhere, from Morgan Freeman’s blues club in Clarksdale, Mississippi, to the Bundestag in Berlin. Roots’ music has been played on the radio across five continents, topped the Estonian charts, and drawn comparisons to the golden age of Mississippi Delta blues, Leo Kottke, and Davy Graham.
