-Daniel J. Kushner of City Newspaper

Episode 122 of the Rochester Groovecast Podcast highlights a returning guest, Anthony Siciliano of "Head To The Roots."

"From high energy stomp to mellow campfire acoustic, Head to the Roots is the music mind-child of Anthony Siciliano. Anthony pulls at the roots of folk, blues, rock and reggae music. The fabric of his songwriting is both thought-provoking and playful, woven with themes of life exploration, travel, and love, while carrying undertones of spirituality and human coalescence.

From the main stage at Rochester’s beloved Cornhill Arts Festival to stages spanning across the Northeast, and New England, Anthony has shared his music in New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine. In the midst of his musical career, Siciliano has shared the stage with members of Twiddle, and has played with members of The Buddhahood, and Multibird.

Since September 2020, Head to the Roots has evolved into its mightiest form yet, with joining members Chris Palace (drums) and Drew Rosenberg (bass and keys) bringing power and groove to this newforming trio. Aside from live performance, Anthony continues to write, produce and release original music, where April 2021 marks the horizon line for a brand new album release."



In this episode, host, Ben Albert, and Anthony Siciliano discuss what's happened this past year, most importantly, Head To The Roots' new album, "Seeker."


During the podcast, the boys isten to and discuss two brand new tracks, "Seeker" and "Flower City!"

Siena. Is a creative human - a musician, artist, and teacher. She's here because she has Big Questions. How do we build a creative life? What keeps us going? What does our daily process tell us about ourselves? How can we learn from each other?

Siena hold space for our grief, resilience, and desire to add our voices to the constantly evolving fabric of humanity.
