The Grass Roots in Oxford

The Grass Roots are an American pop-rock band formed in Los Angeles in 1965, initially developed as a recording project by songwriters and producers P. F. Sloan and Steve Barri. Their best-known records include “Let’s Live for Today,” “Midnight Confessions,” “Temptation Eyes” and “Sooner or Later,” songs built around vocal harmonies, prominent hooks and touches of folk rock and psychedelic pop. The Grass Roots performed at the Fantasy Fair and Magic Mountain Music Festival in 1967 during the band’s early run of hits. Rob Grill later led touring versions of the group for decades on the oldies circuit, and subsequent lineups have appeared repeatedly on the Happy Together Tour.
