Groundation

Formed in 1998, GROUNDATION is one of the world’s most respected reggae bands. With landmark albums such as Young Tree, Each One Teach One and the iconic Hebron Gate, the Californian group established a unique roots reggae sound infused with jazz influences, earning international acclaim. After reforming in 2018 around founder and vocalist Harrison Stafford, GROUNDATION entered a powerful new chapter, surrounded by outstanding musicians trained at Sonoma State University. The band remains faithful to its roots while delivering intense, sophisticated and deeply human music. With over two decades of career and ten studio albums, GROUNDATION returns with Candle Burning, its 11th studio album, recorded 100% analog and acclaimed for its musical depth and sound quality.
