During the pandemic, I started the online festival “Roots in the Jar” to support musicians and bands playing various styles of Ameripolitan music, including country, honky tonk, western swing, blues, bluegrass, gospel, rockabilly, and more.

The online festivals were a tremendous help for these artists, as there were no opportunities to play live gigs.

Since then, Roots in the Jar has been actively supporting these musicians by assisting them with venue arrangements. 

Next year, Roots in the Jar will celebrate its 5th anniversary, and we want to mark this milestone with a unique event featuring artists from Europe and the USA.

So we started this fundraising so we can make this unique event happening and we can support more bands and musicians.
