Reno Gazette Journal / / . “Native Root's sound is a veritable witch's brew of styles, but Dave Kellers, Art Hafen, Matt Burke, Kevin Thomas, Scott Rouse and Zack Hajackas hold together their sonic meld of jazz, hip-hop, soul and you-name-it, inspiring brazen dance-floor antics.” Reno News and Review April, .

When you add the socially conscious, poetic hip hop and soul melodies of front man Burke, you have an out of the box genre, for an in the pocket for body, mind and spirit.
