Formed in 1998, Groundation is among the legends of global reggae. In 2018, the mythical Californian reggae jazz band reformed around its leader Harrison Stafford. He surrounds himself with the cream of the musicians, drawn like him from the prestigious Sonoma State University. A reggae sound still infused with jazz, combined with this new generation that brings its talent and creativity and lives up to the reputation that has shaped Groundation since its inception. After more than two decades and nine studio albums, Groundation, which helped define American roots reggae, is back with its 10th studio album, "One Rock". This new release continues the Band’s legend with a sound and spirit pushed even further. Harrison Stafford leads the group’s current lineup through 9 intense songs with complex arrangements, moving melodies, and lyrics that deal with the human condition, the human spirit, and the state of the world. Always keen to respect his elders and predecessors, Groundation makes history by bringing together the legendary reggae vocal groups Israel Vibration and The Abyssinians on one track, while also working with the Congos on another. As with all Groundation releases, this album was recorded strictly analog on 2" tape, with Jim Fox (Lion and Fox Studios) handling recording and mixing. The band will be in Europe to present this new album in spring and summer 2022!
