BIO's

Jason E. Hedrington (keyboards, vocals) has been a touring/recording musician since 1997 when he left the friendly fields and streams of wisconsin to seek fame and fortune by following the star to Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. When asked how many bands he's played in he said "I lost track somewhere in the 30's." Among them: Kef, Emergent Evolution, The Sconnsyltucky Ooftah Boys and The Gonzo Project. He figures his career highlight was having Napolean Murphy Brock yell at him for touching his sax during soundcheck while touring with The Insidious Rays as an opener for Frank Zappa tribute band, Project/Object. Jason is an analog/vintage equipment geek and rocks the Moog Voyager. He hopes one day to get back to the Great State of Mind of Sconnsyltuckee where he can sit on the front porch, listen to Da Stinkers football game (maybe they'll win one this year) and drink a coupla-two-three Leinies.

Randal Getzoff (drums) patrols Pennsylvania in search of bugs to kill when he's not studying drums with drum guru Martin Bradfield. Randal can also sing, play bass, guitar, banjo and a little piany (although the guys don't let him), AND he also studied film production and sound engineering in college. So, basically, Randal could record all the instruments himself in his own studio, master and press the album AND shoot the video. He may fire the rest of the band any day. When in character as Lunker Ooftah he reigns supreme as the Sconnsyltuckee State Champion of Pin the Rock on the Bottle.

TJ Duddy (bass/vocals) comes from a family filled with musicians. Virtually everyone from the Duddy clan is a musician in some way or another, (we won't mention Uncle Billy who has not been allowed to see any of his nephews since the INCIDENT in the pool)). So it was a matter of time before TJ became one himself, becoming an accomplished guitar player and bass guitar player. TJ is one of the founding members of Wandering Root, and he loves sandwiches. He is also known as "no filter ooftah" in the land of Sconnsyltuckee, if you talk to TJ for five minutes, you'll understand why. TJ plays a Geddy Lee Signature Fender Jazz bass guitar and he plays it through an Avalon U5 direct input he won from Ryan Stasik of Umphrey's McGee in a cock fight....they bet on chicken fights people!!!! TJ also plays in Brothers Duddy with his brother Chris (Natural Breakdown), Neon Conspiracy with Chris, Marc Gallo (Sage/Wynrise) and Ryan Decker (Almighty Terribles), and plays with the Gonzo Project with the Root's own Jason (Ole Ooftah) Hedrington.

Asa Wilson (guitar) is an SG man. Except for when he's a Strat man. The guys in root never saw him giddier than when he rewired his guitar and set up a stereo-amp rig. A burgeoning tech-geek, college student studying sound/recording engineering as well as a face-melting lead guitar player, Asa doesn't sweat the fact that he is the newest and youngest member of The Root. Asa is surprisingly spiritual, as evidenced by his rubber bracelet "WWTABBD?" (What Would The Allman Brothers Band Do?). For this, his melodic jams and his powerful tone the guys in Root invited him into Sconnsyltuckee as the character Soul Full Balls. They may have forgotten to mention he has the right to choose his own name. That's what you get for being the new guy.
