Groundation, one of California’s premier roots reggae outfits, got its start in the jazz program at Sonoma State University in 1998. More band members were added and more musical elements were refined, until Groundation became one of the most-watched jazz fusion bands on earth. Their unique blend of jazz, salsa, funk and transcendental dub has opened new avenues of sound and earned them thousands of fans in the process. A seminal live act, Groundation has been on an astounding off-and-on world tour the last couple years, headlining shows in 25 countries on six continents. They’ve also racked up millions of views on Youtube, thanks to a fresh but familiar roots reggae sound.
