Root Shock is a Syracuse-based band that blends elements of reggae, jazz, neo-soul, and psychedelic rock, creating a conscious, soulful, and healing sound. Led by the powerhouse vocals of Jessica Brown, their music transcends genres, moving both body and spirit with uplifting messages of love, social change, and unity, inspired by reggae’s commitment to humanity and justice. Since forming in 2012, Root Shock has built a commanding live presence across the Northeast, performing at clubs, festivals, and concert halls. Their thoughtful, hope-filled lyrics from Brown and guitarist Phil Grajko make their songs as cathartic as they are danceable.
