Roots Rising!  Featuring Matt Andersen, Gaby Moreno and Liz Vice will be performing at the California Center for the Arts, Escondido on Sunday, November 17, 2019 at 7:30 p.m. in the Center Theater.  

Artists from across the roots musical landscape gather for a night showcasing some of our best young, contemporary talent.

Matt Andersen is a powerhouse performer with a giant soul-filled voice, blues in his bones and commanding stage presence.  He has built a formidable following the old fashioned way – touring worldwide and letting the converted audiences spread his reputation. 

Since moving to the US from her native Guatemala, Gaby Moreno has achieved remarkable success – she won a Latin Grammy for Best New Artist, was nominated for an Emmy and has shared the stage with music luminaries such as Bono and Andrea Bocelli. 

Liz Vice has drawn comparisons to some of the greatest female soul singers of all time and both her albums (There’s A Light in 2015, Save Me in 2018) debuted on Billboard’s Gospel chart. 

The evening features both stripped down individual performances and a collaborative finale.
