New Years Eve with Root City Band and The Devine Collection

Come dance the night away at the newly renovated BEST WESTERN PREMIER Nicollet Inn!!

Root City is a funky blues band based out of Minneapolis, Minnesota. The band combines the well crafted music of Alex Rossi(Guitar-Vocals) with jumping high energy Funk and R&B covers. Other band member include: Heatbox (Beatboxing-Vocals), Cory Blanchard (Keys-Vocals), Patrick Nelson (Bass-Vocals), Jay Corkran (Drums-Vocals) and Max Felsheim (Saxophone - Vocals). The group performs regularly at Gluek's on Wednesdays in downtown Minneapolis, and weekly at venues all over the Twin Cities area.

The Devine Collection was founded by Stephanie Devine (The New Congress) in 2009. It began with an invitation to Debra G (Copasetic/The New Congress) and Jessica Johnson (8 Switch Assembly) to perform with Stephanie at a solo show at Bunkers and the dynamic of the three women singing together was so stunning they decided to continue singing together, creating the Devine Collection.

It’s a heavy female fronted band along with the soulful vocals(and guitar/bass) from Jesse Larson (8 Switch Assembly/City Collective) and Chris Larson (Root City Band). The band is a multi-talented group of musicians and good friends whose main purpose is to create stellar music and have fun. The Devine Collection also includes Pat Nelson (drums) from The Root City Band and Russ King (keys) from The New Congress with occasional guest appearances from some of Minneapolis’ hottest musicians.
