An official Ambassador for the 2024 European Capital of Culture, Andres Roots is a slide guitarist from Tartu, Estonia whose music has received airplay on five continents and whose Golden Disc-earning 2016 LP “Roots Music” remains the only blues album ever to top the sales charts in the Baltics.

The former Bullfrog Brown guitarist and songwriter has performed in the USA and throughout most of Europe, with the 2018 book “100 Years of Estonian Music” introducing him as the country's “internationally best-known player of pure blues”. His July 2024 "Solo Pieces" tour saw him perform in Finland, Germany and the UK, including shows at the famed Upton Blues and Birmingham Jazz & Blues festivals.

"An absolute genius of the guitar." - Leeds Blues Club, UK

"You could be forgiven for thinking your ears or eyes deceive you, given it sounds like either there are two musicians/guitars involved, or he has six fingers on each hand." - Ross Muir, FabricationsHQ, UK

"It’s almost as if muddy waters were flowing into the Gulf of Riga. Musicians of this sort run counter to all expectations, and upset various purists." - Ted Gioia, The Honest Broker, USA
