A master of the pedal- and lap-steel guitars, South Florida’s own Roosevelt Collier believes his music has never been more needed than during these challenging times. “I want to bring a positive vibe, so for that two hours I’m playing, you can’t help but forget everything that happened bad in your life,” he said in a recent interview. “My number-one goal since I started playing has always been to try to heal and touch the soul, whether I’m playing world music, blues, funk jazz, hip-hop, soul, it doesn’t matter. It’s just the nature of my instrument and my gospel roots.”
