Acoustic trio rooted in old-time, Americana & bluegrass
Charlotte, NC
Roving Roots are an acoustic trio, inspired by traditional Americana music and driven to go wherever the groove takes them, whether that be a funky instrumental, a pretty and hypnotic old-time tune, or a heartfelt original sung over the warm rhythmic hum of the clawhammer banjo.
The band consists of Chalmers Croft on guitar, Drew Egerton on mandolin, and Julia Migner on fiddle and clawhammer banjo — though don't be surprised if you see them swapping instruments on stage or pulling out an octave-mandolin or bouzouki.
The trio first played music together in the summer of 2025 after meeting and jamming separately at local jams and camps. Chalmers' solid yet nuanced rhythmic foundation coupled with Drew's playful, thoughtful phrasing and the smooth tone of Julia's fiddle fuse together into a warm and energizing musical conversation.
You'll hear them playing a mix of traditional and progressive bluegrass, Americana and swing tunes, along with some of their own original songs — rooted in a desire to create music that brings them joy, meandering through melodies while carefully listening to the story being told.
