The Community Center for the Performing Arts welcomes Groundation to WOW Hall, with Sol Seed on the bill. For more than two decades, Groundation has shaped American roots reggae while touring across five continents and stepping onto main stages at major festivals such as Summer Jam in Germany, No Logo in France, and Republica do Reggae in Brazil. The group has released ten studio albums, with Hebron Gate widely recognized as a landmark recording. Their latest, One Rock, continues that trajectory with nine tracks that blend intricate arrangements and memorable melodies with lyrics reflecting on humanity and world affairs, and it includes collaborations with Israel Vibration, The Abyssinians, and The Congos. Formed in 1998 out of Sonoma State University’s Jazz Performance program, the band’s roots reggae and jazz fusion approach grew through early collaborations with Marcia Higgs and Ras Michael and a long-standing partnership with engineer Jim Fox at Lion and Fox, spanning releases from Young Tree and Each One Teach One through We Free Again, Upon the Bridge, Here I Am, Building An Ark, and A Miracle. Over the last 18 years they have been a regular headliner and festival draw across Europe, South America, Australia and New Zealand, and the United States. Sol Seed brings a Pacific Northwest flavor, fusing deep reggae grooves with hip hop, rock, soul, and psychedelic world influences. Known for rich vocal harmonies, distinctive instrumentation, and a live show that unites the crowd, the band spent the 2010s touring the country, releasing fan favorites like Family Tree and The Spark, and earning tens of millions of streams, including Sugarshack’s viral Family Tree session. After a short hiatus for family and life, they have regrouped, returning to the studio and the stage with conscious, uplifting songs that carry their deep-roots spirit wherever they perform.
