After a four-year hiatus Californian based, Reggae-Jazz fusion group, Groundation begins the 1st phase of their US tour this February.
The band, rebuilt by lead vocalist Harrison Stafford, features a dynamic new set of musicians, performing songs from their new album “The Next Generation” which was released on September 21st, 2018. The new album “The Next Generation” addresses many social concerns while pushing the bar musically, featuring the first ever reggae big band song“Vanity” (12 horns) to begin the musical journey that takes listeners from the militant “Fossil Fuels” and “Prophets & Profit”to the subtle and heartfelt “New Life” and “Father & Child” and everywhere in between.
The upcoming shows in the United States follows the band’s return from Europe where they toured for eight weeks through nine countries followed by a 3 week tour in South American where the band went throughout Brazil and Argentina.
The group is excited to share their new music with the US fans; for the 1st phase of the tour Groundation will be performing in California, Colorado and Utah.
At the concert fans will be treated to songs from the new album alongside classic Groundation tracks as well as a special Bob Marley tribute performance.
