The James Roots Band is an anointed band made up of talented musicians whose heart desire is to lead people in worship. The members of the band include James Roots, Tom and Molly Richey (husband and wife), Matt Rohlak and Eddie Guzman. Praise and worship is more than just a genre of music to the band, it is their passion.
The lead singer and songwriter James started playing acoustic guitar at age 12 and by the time he was a teenager, he started singing on stage. His dad, Tommy Roots, was considered one of the best steel guitar players in Country music and even though Tommy has gone to be with the Lord, his passion for music has left an imprint on James.
After playing guitar in Young Life for a while, James started to feel a tug from God. Then at age 21, James got serious with God. It wasn’t long before he got involved in the praise band at his church. During the next few years, he joined a couple of different Christian rock bands. He jokingly says that “God saved me from Country and put me in Rock N’ Roll.”
In 2006 James formed his band and released his debut album entitled “You’re Everything” which is packed full of originals and a few covers. With the album currently playing on the radio, the band’s recognition for song writing and leading worship is increasing. The James Roots Band brings a synergetic style of music that involves video and sound that not only brings energetic praise, but powerful intimate worship. “Our goal in leading worship is to draw people to connect with God and His presence.”
James has been leading worship for 12 years and is currently the Worship Pastor at New Community Church in Portland, Texas where he has been for the last six and a half years. While the band members are involved in leading worship in their own churches, the band does worship concerts at other churches, Christian events and conferences for adults and youth. In addition to leading praise and worship, the band does concert style music as well at festivals and community events.
With more originals in hand, the band is planning on recording their sophomore album in the fall of 2008. “We are excited about the new songs God has given us and about recording the second album which will have more of the band’s intensity and creativity. We really thrive to share our passion for Christ through our music.”
