Our Story
The Grass Roots Cultural and Performing Arts Center (GRCPAC) has its roots in a decade-long journey that began as The Alternate Root. This initiative was dedicated to preserving and promoting traditional American Roots music and supporting its creators. In 2007, the organization expanded its reach by launching Alternate Root TV, a weekly program broadcasted across over 275 Cable Access Channels in the US, UK, and Canada. This evolution led to the creation of The Extended Play Sessions, where a small studio audience could engage with live performances. In March 2017, GRCPAC was officially formed to continue this mission and broaden its impact.
