ONEIDA >> The Kallet Civic Center brings acclaimed musician Michael Glabicki to the stage on Saturday, May 7 at 8 p.m.

Rusted Root, the multiplatinum sextet out of Pittsburgh, evolved around front-man Glabicki’s distinct sound and grew into a musical entity that has thrived in a non-genre specific category all its own.

Having just released their eighth studio album, “The Movement,” Rusted Root continues to maintain a strong foothold in the world/jam/rock world.

In addition to the two decades with Rusted Root, Glabicki is exploring new sounds and opening new doors with his solo career. He has started touring nationally as a duo act, and explains that although he has his roots with Rusted Root, the sound is very different.

Glabicki has always invited the audience to participate in the creation of Rusted Root’s music. He frequently tests new songs on the road to see the fan reaction. Constantly writing newmaterial, Glabicki finds that some of it fits his solo sound better than Rusted Root’s.

Glabicki currently routes his solo tours around the Rusted Root schedule, and has multiple performances throughout the year. While not on tour with Rusted Root or working on his solo career, Glabicki also has started his own studio, Red Cloud in Pittsburgh. What started as a place for himto write and record new songs has now grown into a full scale studio where local mu- sicians can rent space to work on their new albums.

Opening for Glabicki will be Rabbit in the Rye, a progressive folk rock trio from Hamilton with Joseph Mettler on guitar and harmonica, Alexander Lavon on bass, and Brendan O’Connor on percussion and mandolin.

Tickets for the show are available on www.KalletMay7.Eventbrite.com or at the Kallet Box Office from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Monday through Friday. The Kallet is located at 159 Main St., Oneida. For more information about Glabicki and Rusted Root, visit www. rustedroot.com.
