The Sadies, alt indie/country rockers from Toronto headline the Roots Roadhouse festival this weekend.

Roots Roadhouse 2 is the all day-into-night festival celebrating Country, Americana, Bluegrass, Blues and Old Time Music. The artists on Roots Roadhouse take the tradition, or root of these genres of music and twist and bend just enough to call them their own, but still stay true to the classic form. It is curated by The Echo, Grand Ole Echo and The New Los Angeles Folk Festival and will be an all-ages event.

The mini-festival takes place in both The Echo and Echoplex and includes The Grand Ole Echo’s practice of a “back porch” or outdoor stage for more acoustic/bluegrass and old-time music artists.

Start time --  3pm
Tickets $15 advance, 17 advance day of the show, $18 at the door
