Where your email is (isn't) finding me 😝 I'm currently taking a much needed vacation with my honey and in laws in Portugal. We've got about a week left and will be soaking up every minute. ❤️🇵🇹

My right hand Barry Meindl is holding it down while I'm away. When I get back, we're straight back to it with the Historic Downtown Clermont With Love From Clermont Unveiling Day and I hope to see some familiar (and new) faces there. I'll respond to inquires when I get home and thank everybody for their patience.

A few reminders:
✨ Grove Market by Roots applications are still open for 9/20 Oktidalfest at Tidal Brewing Company (limited spacing)
🎨 Art & Ales applications are open until 9/9. Artists apply to compete for $1,000 in prize money!
🖼️ Historic Downtown Clermont With Love From Clermont Unveiling is happening on September 13th in downtown Clermont

MUSIC SOUNDS BETTER WITH Fani Joy 🦋🪩🎧💃🏼🕺🏼

We're ecstatic to share that this year, long time friend of Roots will be joining in on the fun at Art & Ales: Round 2 as our DJ & Entertainment Sponsor for the event!

Raised on ’90s hip-hop, Florida breaks, and the soulful sounds of the ’60s and 70s, Fani Joy brings a foundation that naturally finds its way into house music. Her selections are warm, playful, and built for dancers who appreciate groove over hype.

Off the dance floor, you’ll find her teaching yoga sculpt classes (to house music, naturally) or spending time with her daughter and her husband ZERØ PROOF.

Fani brings an unmatched energy with her that adds to the magic of her set. She is a soulful creative through and through, with a love for community that shines brightly in all she does. We're pumped to have her bring her passion for house to A&A.

Follow Fani Purdy Rezoagli on socials to see all of the amazing places she's popping up around Tampa Bay, and be sure to save the date for Art & Ales: Round 2 on November 7th. The party is happening at Tidal Brewing Company in Spring Hill, Florida, and we can't wait to see you there. ❤️
