ROOT DOCTOR..Band Picture 2Root Doctor, born of the fertile Lansing, MI, music community, had its humble beginnings in the open mic scene of the late 80’s. The deeply rooted, soulful connection shared by founding members Freddie Cunningham (lead vocals) and James Williams (bass & vocals) anchors the band’s sound. Root Doctor has kept one other constant over the years – A powerful soul-blues sound with precious few peers. The current line up features prodigal original band mate Mike Skory (Hammond B3 & vocals), Bill Malone (guitar & vocals), and Bobby Gardner (drums), all veteran performers whose abundant abilities allow Root Doctor to continue their long tradition of amazing audiences and wowing critics.
