The Roots & Gospel Project (RGP) is a nonprofit, interfaith, nondenominational organization founded in 2004 whose purpose is to carry an uplifting message of hope, strength, and joy to diverse audiences, bringing us closer together to understand the meaning of peace, equality, respect, unity, and justice.

The Roots & Gospel Project is a nonprofit umbrella organization that sponsors a full choir named Rock My Soul, various small singing groups, and education workshops on gospel music. Money is raised by putting on concerts. In turn, these funds help support the choir and small groups to perform at hospices, hospitals, nursing homes, jails, and other areas where the uplifting message and meaning of gospel music is needed, but not affordable. Funds raised cover the costs of putting on a concert, many of which are the same no matter the size of the audience or the audience’s pocketbooks. These include the costs of music, transportation, soloists, choir director, and musicians. Choir members are volunteers who contribute dues to support the organization. Rock My Soul is an interfaith musical group on a mission of hope and joy.

The Rock My Soul Choir was featured on NH Chronicle on WMUR in 2007, and can also be heard on PBS' "Freedom Songs: The Music of the Civil Rights Movement." The Rock My Soul sextet was featured in 2010 on WLBZ's (Maine) show "The 207."
