Got roots? Florida’s hottest party band does. And they run deep.

Based in Holmes Beach, on Anna Maria Island, Fla., Bootleg has built a dedicated following, performing energized versions of Bob Marley and Sublime hits, while rousing crowds with their brand of original Reggae-Ska-Punk rhythms.

Bootleg’s unique sound reflects the laid-back lifestyle of Florida’s Gulf Coast, filled with white sand beaches, calm waters, and good vibes drawing inspiration from Jamaica and the Caribbean.

Mark Pelham (Vocals/Guitar), Mike Fender (Drums), Robyn Tingen (Bass), and Juanja Montero (Sax/Keyboards) mix skittering guitar riffs, bouncy bass-lines, thumping drums and explosive horns to create extraordinary live performances.

Appealing to all ages, and touring nationally, the members of Bootleg are experienced professionals, rocking dive bar patrons with the same reggaeska/surf-rock beats at music festival crowds for more than four years.

The band released 2008’s “Begged Borrowed and Stole,” their second album, to rave reviews, no doubt to Grammy-nominated team of producer Cliff Brown and engineer Tony Rey. The result? Bootleg has become Florida’s Top Indie Artists, packing venues with rambunctious fans craving their energetic and positive
sounds.

Already the band is finding success with their original songs “Slip N Fall” and “Angel Child” which were both requested hits on homegrown radio shows throughout the Sunshine State. All while touring relentlessly.

Most recently, Bootleg has recorded their third album, "Ready For Change" just released December 2009, which will continue spreading their captivating riddims worldwide.
