Rusted Root Saturday, May 19th - 8:00pm The Wolf Den Send Me On My Way, Rusted Root » The quintessential live band, Pittsburgh's Rusted Root, celebrates their 20th anniversary this year. Formed in the early 90s by singer/guitarist Michael Glabicki, Rusted Root's worldly style quickly charmed fans of roots music and world Rock. To date, they have released 7 albums and sold over 3 million records worldwide. After debuting in 1992 with the self-released Cruel Sun, Rusted Root signed with Mercury Records and released the 1994 platinum-selling breakthrough When I Woke, which featured the massive hits "Send Me On My Way," "Ecstasy" and "Martyr." Their huge success allowed the band to tour with Santana, The Grateful Dead, Dave Matthews Band, The Allman Brothers Band, HORDE Festival and, perhaps most notably, the highly-coveted support role on the landmark Jimmy Page/Robert Plant reunion tour. In 1996, the hard-touring Rusted Root returned with Remember, which was followed by 1998's Rusted Root. In 2002, the band reemerged with Welcome To My Party. In 2004, the band released a double live album aptly entitled Rusted Root Live; this double set was the second release Rusted Root's Touchy Pegg label, following the re-release of the newly remastered Cruel Sun in 2003.
