Formed in 2001 after a session at the infamous local Raglan Musicians Club, the original three-piece outfit singer/songwriter/guitarist Brian and drummer Turongo Dixon and bassist Naomi Tuao formed the rhythm section of Cornerstone Roots. The music at that time was raw and riddim focused with a mix of contemporary styled ska/roots/soul and reggae.
The band quickly developed a strong local following with many of the early shows being filmed and recorded by fans. This prompted the band to record their first EP One Fine Day in 2001 where they set about touring provincial New Zealand where the cafes were crammed and live shows intense. By the following year the Corners had released debut album Soul Revolution, described by some reviewers as brilliant and impressive.
The album was recorded in Wellington with engineer Lee Prebble at Surgery where the rhythm tracks were recorded live in one weekend. The album release was backed up with 20 date tour of NZ ending at the Wellington Town Hall supporting powerhouse rhythm section Sly and Robbie. The band have evolved many times since its humble beginnings and now feature Jonathan Crayford on keyboards and Aaron Bush on percussion.
Recent shows have been described as intense with the impact of a hammer hitting an anvil. June 2007 sees Cornerstone Roots release a new album Free Yourself and following up with the Free Yourself Album Release Tour.
