The Doctors are in…
And their prescription of choice is a proverbial hair-of-the-dog, one-two punch. You know, treat the ailment with a dose of cure by the same name.
“It’s simple. If you’re in a funk, well ya gotta go and get the funk. It’ll fix you straight up,” says Dr. Walter Hemingway, medical chief of staff for The Root Doctors – South Carolina’s preeminent feel-good clinic. “Music – funky music- is the remedy, man.”
Combine heaping portions of bass, rhythm guitar, and brass with uniquely hip, feel-good grooves and you have the beginnings of a healing party that is safe to administer in massive doses to any member of the family, ages 8 to 80.
If you’re looking for a talented, professional, and experienced band that strives to remedy your blues, The Root Doctors have the cure and are ready to administer your next dose!
Entertainment so memorable that hundreds of people are still cheering from the stands.
