Headliner Roosevelt Collier has a style that suggests an organic blend of gospel, blues, rock and funk influences.
A master of the pedal and lap steel guitars, South Florida’s own Roosevelt Collier believes his music has never been more needed than during these challenging times.
“I want to bring a positive vibe, so for that 2 hours I’m playing, you can’t help but forget everything that happened bad in your life,” he said in a recent interview. “My No. 1 goal since I started playing has always been to try to heal and touch the soul, whether I’m playing world music, blues, funk jazz, hip-hop, soul, it doesn’t matter. It’s just the nature of my instrument and my gospel roots.”
