Aeroroot is:

Aeroroot members include rhythm guitarist and lead vocalist Clint Landis, lead guitarist Brett Karminski, Frontier Brand Manager, and Steve Krusie, Director of Public Relations, who plays drums and sings back-up vocals. Tracy Tunwall, formerly Vice President of Human Resources for Frontier – who is now assistant professor at Mount Mercy College – plays bass guitar and also sings back-up vocals.

Formed in 2005 during a lunch break in Frontier Natural Co-op's on-site organic café, Aeroroot was originally intended only to provide entertainment for the upcoming annual holiday party. The performance was a hit and with encouragement from other Frontier employees, the band decided to stay together and began playing for charity functions, including fund-raisers for the American Cancer Society and Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. 

In 2009, Frontier entered the Fortune Magazine and Rock & Roll Hall of Fame's Battle of the Corporate Bands competition. After submitting their entry CD, they were selected to compete in the regional competition held in Los Angeles, CA at the Key Club, where they competed against 7 other corporate bands. After advancing through the regional competition, Aeroroot competed in the finals held at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio. Today, Aeroroot still plays local venues and local charity events, and the
occasional Frontier holiday party. 

The name Aeroroot comes from the name of the herb arrowroot, one of the natural products Frontier produces. The spelling was changed as a nod to Rock and Roll Hall of Fame band Aerosmith. 

Based in Norway, Iowa, Frontier Natural Products Co-op is best known for its broad variety of natural and organic products, including Simply Organic® culinary herbs, spices, and seasoning mixes; Frontier bulk herbs, spices and teas; and Aura Cacia® pure aromatherapy products.
