New Album in the Works
Groundation's Marcus Urani, and Harrison Stafford are currently in Washington DC working with Jim Fox on a side project album to be released sometime in Spring of '08.

The project features Jamaican legend and cult movie, "Rockers," star Leroy "Horsemouth" Wallace (drums,) Jazz great and 2008 Grammy nominated Will Bernard (lead guitar,) and Groundation's own Harrison Stafford (vocals and rhythm guitar,) Ryan Newman (bass,) and Marcus Urani (keyboards.)

The music is very different from Groundation and covers many diverse styles within Reggae. We are all very excited for this release and word from the studio is Fox has the music sounding bigger than ever! More news to come...

RIP Oscar Peterson
Groundation is influenced by many musicians from a wide range of musical styles. Oscar Peterson, the legendary jazz pianist, is one artist that has inspired us for many years. He will be remembered by all of us and has left behind a legacy of music.

A Tribute to Bob Marley
Last year's European tour for Upon the Bridge took Groundation away from
their 7 year tradition of paying tribute to the King of Reggae music.We are very excited that this year the tradition resumes!

For 2 weeks we will be performing throughout our home State of California honoring the late Bob Marley in his birth month of February. For these shows Groundation will be playing Bob Marley's music and once again we will assemble a list of Marley classics spanning his entire musical career from 1961-1981. We are very exited about the opportunity to dive deep into the Wailers music as there is always something more to learn from the masters. Check the Live page for dates.
