Incredible musicians, wonderful entertainers infamous folk artist Rick Scott and young keyboard wizard Nico Rhodes combine forces in an inter-generational smorgasbord of roots, blues, jazz and humour.
Forty years apart in age, Scott and Rhodes blur all boundaries: in a word, they cook! Roots & Grooves is a musical conversation spiced with mastery, mischief and improvisation. Since launching this duo in 2017, Scott and Rhodes have amazed audiences with their musical alchemy in theatres, festivals and folk clubs around B.C.
