Professional singer-songwriter Rootiger left us stuck on constant repeat with his beautiful masterpiece “Remedial Training,” off of his latest EP, “Mary.” The minute we heard this song we knew we needed to share it with you, it’s a great experience from start to finish and deserves more attention.
Rootiger has one of the richest voices we’ve ever heard and has so much talent when it comes to writing songs. There is a great level of songwriting that shines up through this record. The lyrics are original, beautifully written and mesh perfectly with the vocal melodies. The instrumentation is outstanding and the melodies of this song are incredibly catchy. Rootiger is a talented singer-songwriter and has an amazing passion for his music. “Remedial Training” is different and really some good stuff to listen to all day long.
We recommend listening through the EP from start to finish to get the perfect experience, but don’t worry, it’ll be the best minutes you’ll ever spend. If you dig Rootiger’s musical style, share his music with your friends, and don’t forget to follow him on his socials to stay up to date on any future releases!

ABOUT THE ARTIST:
“The EP is consistently good from beginning to end and his efforts have not gone unnoticed. Recommended.” – Matt Jensen, Divide & Conquer music, on Rootiger’s debut EP “Things change real slow”
Hailing from the paper production capitol of the world, Scranton Pennsylvania, Mark Dunford writes, records, and performs under Rootiger /rue.ti.gger/. While enlisted in the Air Force, Dunford was mostly stationed at Holloman AFB in rural New Mexico. He lived in a cabin in Cloudcroft, NM working on his voice as a songwriter, making crude home recordings and self-releasing them onto the internet. After leaving the military in 2018 he relocated to Boston, MA to attend the Berklee College of Music. Rootiger’s sound touches on indie rock, early emo, lo-fi, and americana. Rootiger began releasing singles in 2019 with a cover of Fugazi’s “I’m so tired”, “Deadlights” in 2020, and the lo-fi “folk songs & trap beats” in July 2021 before releasing his debut EP “things change real slow” on October 29th, 2021. The EP’s single “Shotgun Seat” received over 30,000 streams on spotify. “Things change real slow” was recorded in June 2021 for the first time in a studio and with a band (Micah Lucas on bass, David Himmel on drums) at 37” Productions in Rockland, MA with Zach Bloomstein producing and engineering. Rootiger’s second EP “Mary” was recorded at home throughout the pandemic with Dunford producing, engineering, and playing everything himself. “Mary” comes out September, 9th 2022.
