Taproot To Release New Album “SC\SRRS” In September, Announce Flint, MI Show

Taproot have revealed that their new album, “SC\SRRS,” will be released on September 29. With this news, the band have also announced a record release show at The Machine Shop in Flint, MI. The concert will take place on September 29 and tickets for it will be available on March 3 at 10:00am EDT.

Guitarist/vocalist Stephen Richards commented:

“I had written most of this record to be the next Taproot release years ago, following ‘The Episodes’, when some health and other issues arose, we decided to take a break that turned into a longer than anticipated hiatus. After my mother’s passing, I decided I needed to record these songs and share them with friends and fans that were interested in hearing what was next. I’ve spent the last six years doing as much as I could around my personal life to make it happen, and after all of the hard work, the other guys jumped behind me to support and we decided to get it out there and release what is the new Taproot record ‘SC\SSRS’.”

Bassist Phil Lipscomb added:

“Steve had all these great songs recorded that he’d originally written for the next Taproot record that he was planning to just release independently as part of his solo project, but we started talking, and I encouraged him that we should just do it as a Taproot record and pay it the respect that it deserves. And that’s exactly what we did.”

Taproot’s current lineup consists of Richards and Lipscomb as well as new guitarist Taylor Roberts. Original drummer Jarrod Montague will also join the band for select shows. All other shows will feature drummer Dave Coughlin.
