American Roots Music: An Evolution of Music Kicks Off SnoCade at Indian Lake Theater

Enjoy music from the Mississippi Delta Blues to Johnny Cash and beyond.

Indian Lake’s winter calendar hits a high note on Thursday, February 12, 2026, when American Roots Music: An Evolution of Music, featuring the Rook’N Roots Band, takes the stage at Indian Lake Theater.

Serving as the opening night event of Indian Lake’s annual SnoCade, this live performance blends regional winter fun with a deep dive into the musical traditions that helped shape America’s sound.

Designed for music lovers, history buffs, and SnoCade visitors looking for something special to do after a day outdoors, the event explores the evolution of American roots music—from the raw power of Mississippi Delta Blues to the storytelling grit of Johnny Cash and beyond.

A musical journey through American history.

The Rook’N Roots Band brings American music’s living timeline to life through performance and storytelling. The band features Bob Stump, Roy Coates, Bob Asseni, and Doug Moody—seasoned musicians who know how to connect musical dots across generations.

Their set traces how early blues, folk, and country influences evolved into the sounds that continue to shape modern Americana, rock, and roots music today.

Rather than a static concert, this performance feels more like a guided musical journey. Audience members gain context for the songs they hear, learning how regional styles, cultural exchanges, and social history influenced the music that still resonates today.

Two ways to experience the performance.

The event offers two sessions on Thursday, February 12, making it accessible to multiple audiences:

School session: 1:15 PM
Public performance: 7:00 PM

Both sessions will be livestreamed and available for remote viewing, making this a great option for those unable to attend in person during SnoCade weekend. Viewers are encouraged to check the Indian Lake Theater website or Facebook page for livestream links, ticketing details, and updates.

This performance reflects the collaborative spirit that defines Indian Lake’s SnoCade celebration. The event is generously sponsored by the Town of Indian Lake and made possible through funding from the Statewide Community Regrants program of the New York State Council on the Arts, with support from the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature. Administration is provided by Adirondack Lakes Center for the Arts.

That community backing ensures the arts remain an essential part of Adirondack winter life, even during the coldest months.

Why it belongs on your SnoCade schedule.

For visitors planning a SnoCade getaway, American Roots Music: An Evolution of Music offers a warm, welcoming indoor experience that pairs perfectly with outdoor winter activities. It’s an ideal evening option for couples, groups, or solo travelers who want to balance snow-filled days with meaningful cultural events.

Music lovers searching for live performances in the Adirondacks will also appreciate the educational angle and the chance to hear classic American songs performed by musicians who respect their origins.
