Roots of Rock with Shawn Tompkins is an audio documentary show made in Leth, AB. We trace the influences of some of the greatest music ever made!

The last Roots of Rock show is out now. Get it while it's hot! It's the Sister Rosetta Tharpe edition. #SisterRosetta was a rock and roll goddess who influenced countless other early rock and rollers. We dig deep into her history on this episode. https://t.co/EYPgexAV7c

@netflix I teared up in the first 10 seconds...of the freaking trailer! I can never watch this or I'll surely have six dogs by the end, one for each episode.

Check out this month's #JamSession. We chat with Pete Goodall about his exhibition on Percy Phillips that's a part of #InternationalBeatlesWeek. Very cool untold (until now) story on the history of #rockandroll in England. https://t.co/DkZwvgMete

Man, is this amazing, or what? @thebeatles music, deconstructed, then re-constructed! New level of appreciation for Hard Day's Night thanks to @RandysVinylTap

I was recently on a flight w/Gene Simmons, who'd I'd never seen w/o his KISS makeup on. He said, "You know what I really like that you did? That time when you demystified the opening chord to Hard Day's Night. That was really cool." Nice guy. #MusicMonday

@thebeatles I think of them almost daily. Learning three songs on acoustic guitar by them so they are very present in my life right now!

Holy smokes BLVD is featured on a podcast with @burtoncummings on @RootsofRockST on iTunes! How cool! https://t.co/v2laixcuhq #theguesswho #americanwoman #classicrock

@ThatEricAlper The Smalls - My Dear Little Angle. An absolute masterpiece. Perfect blend of Metal, jazz and country. Seriously. And Mike Caldwell's vocals are out of this world.

@d_llas Check out Roots of Rock. We delve into the history of rock and roll and tell all the coolest stories we can find. We'll typically pick a band and work our way back through their influences til we get back to the very roots of rock and roll in country, blues, etc..

[Rootsofrock @RootsofRockST]

#RootsofRock June 2018 Jam Session is out! https://t.co/NJqfEoGGzJ In this episode, Howard Mandshein dug into the archives (2008) for an interview w @burtoncummings. Great insight into the @theguesswho and his career. Plus we hear some great rock and roll from @littlemanmusic!

[Rootsofrock @RootsofRockST]

@libsyn Not sure how I feel about this! On one hand, very cool that podcasts have reached a level where there are being adapted to movies! On the other hand, this was such a powerful story in it's original art form, I'm not sure it will lend itself to a screen adaptation.
