In 1997, band mate's Ginette and Daniel ventured away from the place they called home forever. Why? They had performed in almost every venue in Winnipeg, from smoky bars to fine dining establishment, to the jazz festival, to the folk festival, to busking on the streets. Let's go explore!!
So the duo walked away from "cost of living" their band of 5 years, packed a moving van and set off to the west, young man and woman and of course baby.

What have they been doing lately?? roth d'lux highlights for the past 2 years include performing at the 18 and 19th Tucson Folk Festival, being guests on KXCI's "Locals Only" show, getting a coveted spot on KXCI's 2003 compilation cd, playing a monthly show at Frog & Firkin, entertaining at the 4th Avenue Street Fair and performing at KXCI's cd release party at Plush. Of course, sharing their music in live spots such as the Epic Café, Bookman's, and the Cottage Bakery wasn't so bad either.
performers..... roth d'lux has had the pleasure of performing with some of Tucson's finest musicians. In 2004, their kick-butt rhyth
