Aaron and Evan go way back as band mates. Evan started playing guitar when he was eight, and a few years later, encouraged Aaron and his brother, Andy White, to learn bass and drums. Playing coffee house gigs by 13 or 14, they knew this was what they wanted to do. They met Zac later on, having all graduated from Woodford County High School. Zac had played guitar for quite some time, and owned a fiddle. So, naturally, a bluegrass(ish) outfit emerged. The short-lived "Cold Front Four" provided a more matured look at playing live shows and handling booking, but the four would go their separate ways for a while. Aaron, Andy, and Evan had another stint as a three-piece rock group playing small clubs and parties, but that too wouldn't last very long. Evan began playing solo shows here and there, and took a couple-round peek into "American Idol." He landed a steady gig at a restaurant in Versailles, and asked Zac to join him one night. Zac had the fiddle, and Evan had the guitar and cajon. The first night went (quite surprisingly) smooth, and Evan's project "Trippin Roots" was born. It would be a melting pot of original material with influences Evan and Zac had picked up over the years, a sort of roots-rock-folk salad. They eventually looked to fill out the sound a bit, and having a history with Aaron, asked him to play bass. Once the ball started rolling with booking, they loaded up a van and hit the road any chance they got. From Newport, to Gainesville, to Indianapolis, "Trippin Roots" has been spreading the name and the music, and are excited to join Red Barn Radio.
