Vintage by Request

Before becoming a slammin', punk-pop, new-wave Philly band, Reesa and The Rooters was a small group of friends who jammed on jazzy-blues acoustic originals. We also played quirky covers of artists such as Memphis Minnie.

Here are some of these early and vintage recordings, plus a bonus live performance by SWC:
