Rootsucker Records proudly presents- The 2nd Annual "Sweet Leaf Festival", in Lowell, Massachusetts

To Be Held May 14th, 2005 at Evos' Arts Tavern & Grille (www.evosarts.com)

April 28th, 2005 (Beverly, MA) -Rootsucker Records proudly announces the booking of the 2nd annual Sweet Leaf Festival at Evos' Arts in Lowell on 5/14/05, doors open @ 4pm, 21+. This festival will also serve as the CD release party for Rootsucker Records' latest album, "Reaching Empyrean" by Ichabod.

This year's festival will feature two stages of music, showcasing a total of 13 bands. There will also be art on display by Eric David Love, world renowned visionary/psychedelic artist Scott Cranmer, Bruce Bettis of Zeroflesh.com, and others TBA.

Tickets are available for sale in advance ($12.00) online at www.rootsuckerrecords.com/sweetleaffestival, or through the bands and other participants. Prices for tickets at the door will be slightly higher ($15.00), and there is a likelihood that this show will sell out early, so advance purchase is recommended.

(Entire schedule subject to change as situations develop; the above is tentative)
Rootsucker Records' goal in arranging this festival is to create the premiere event of its kind in the Northeast of the United States. Heavy, aggressive music is featured everywhere these days, but there are few outlets for the more challenging sub-genres of rock and metal (progressive/stoner-rock/doom/psychedelic/ambient/etc.). Rootsucker Records and Evos Arts have therefore collaborated to present this, a totally afferent multi-media presentation of the hallucinogenic, kaleidoscopic and tripped-out underbelly of today's hard rock world.
