Black Queer Band that performs covers and original works of all genres.
IyeRoot, a dynamic Black queer band hailing from Greensboro, North Carolina, emerged in March 2024 under the visionary leadership of Nevada 'Vada Nesta' Staples. Originally a trio featuring Chae's rhythmic cajón, Jess's soulful guitar, and Vada Nesta's commanding vocals, the band has expanded to a powerful 5 Piece band. Today, IyeRoot welcomes the harmonious addition of Breonna 'Amaris' Lee on background vocals, and the melodic mastery of Lando Sparks on keys.

Black Queer Band out of Greensboro, NC
IyeRoot delivers a captivating fusion of genres. Their sound, a rich tapestry of rap, R&B, reggae, rock, and classic influences, is as diverse as their members. The name "IyeRoot" is a profound reflection of the band's ethos: "Iye" encompassing the all-seeing eye, the Egyptian Eye of Ra, the Rastafarian concept of "I and I," and the personal "I" of self-affirmation; "Root" representing the grounding anchor, the source of growth, and the ancestral lineage that flows through their veins. Their music defies categorization, seamlessly blending into a unique sonic experience
I would need at least 7 inputs, 6mics. If we have to bring our own mixer, mics and run our own sound, there will be an extra cost. The band will be anywhere between 4-7 individuals.
