7pm: Deep Roots
This is a seated outdoor show.
Deep Roots is Minnesota-based blend of southern rock, country, and blues, fronted by Christine Passig. Backed by John Farber (bass/vocals), J.T. Peterson (drums), and Benny James (lead guitar/vocals), the band delivers strong harmonies, soulful grooves, and a mix of rootsy originals and crowd-favorite covers.
A solo performer, studio musician, and member of west metro MN band, Deep Roots, Christine continues to create music that blends dynamic piano, soulful vocals, and compelling melodies across country, gospel, rock, and beyond.
Christine has opened for 7 Summers, James Whatton Band, Wade Hayes, The Fabulous Armadillos, Martin Zellar, Pamela McNeill, Eddie Montgomery, and twice for the Bellamy Brothers.
Christine is heavily involved with the Midwest Country Music Organization. An active member since January of 2023, she serves on the board as Director of Communications, has been nominated for “Tribute Act of the Year” in 2023 for 2B CONTINUED’s “Legends of the Opry” show, and won “Best Collaboration Act” of 2024 along with Molly Brandt, Jessica Loobey, Indy Annies, and others for their “Women of Country” medley at the 2024 Awards Show.
