The University of Montana Campus is alive with the music of the Roots Group, a class and band who play free form music. Their music includes singing, the fiddle, the spoons and much more. The group has become a tight knit community who rely on the laid back style of music as an escape from the rigid structure of classical music. 

In this week's episode, news reporter Claire Bernard brings you the story and the music of the Roots Group.
