Siena Root

The Profile

Siena Root is a Swedish rock band from Stockholm, active since 1997 and known for analog-recorded, 60s/70s-inspired psychedelic hard rock blended with blues and Eastern colors.

Reviews highlight Hammond organ prominence, wah-wah guitars, and Indian/Arab instruments (sitar, gong, bells, tzouras, qaraqab, duf, tambourines, hurdy-gurdy). Different Realities comprises two suites—“We” and “The road to Agartha.” Root Jam was recorded live in Stockholm as a 10th-anniversary celebration with guest singers and past collaborators; core names cited include K.G. West, Love, and Sam Riffer.

Three DeBaser reviews paint Siena Root as a Swedish torchbearer for 60s/70s-styled hard-psych, cut to warm analog tape and heavy on Hammond grooves. Kaleidoscope is praised as a flashy, old-school ride; Different Realities is celebrated for two sprawling suites with Indian instrumentation; Root Jam bottles their stage energy and decade-long journey. The vibe is retro, but the playing is alive and dynamic, not museum-piece mimicry.
