    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.

Their story began in early 2024 when Barry Sless and Stephen Inglis paired for what was intended as a single appearance, then quickly expanded after a run of California shows.

Expect an intimate evening shaped by original material, including songs co-written by Robert Hunter and Rob Barraco, alongside interpretations from the Grateful Dead songbook.

    Create festive soaps in a relaxed, hands-on workshop led by Rachael Robson of Wharfedale Soaps. Working with clear melt and pour soap that is free of SLS and SLES, along with essential oils and shimmering micas, participants make nine unique bars. Begin by crafting a wintry landscape in soap using green and white micas to shape trees, snow drifts, snowflakes, or tiny stars, scented with a bright blend of peppermint and lemongrass. Then pour delicate snowflake soaps tinted in sparkling white and silver and fragranced with a comforting Winter Morning blend of cinnamon and pine with notes of vanilla, apple, and clove. Finish with a candy cane design layered in red and white and topped with peppermint-scented pieces. There is time at the end to individually gift wrap each soap for presents or personal treats. Tea, coffee, and cake are included. Please bring an apron, and note the session is not suitable for children under 12. Access to the workshop space requires climbing one flight of stairs. Price is £40 per person. This session takes place at A Touch of Craft. Booking is confirmed on payment. Cancellations within 14 days of the workshop are non-refundable and cannot be transferred to a different date. Cancellations made at least 15 days in advance receive a full refund. If the workshop is canceled due to unforeseen circumstances, a full refund will be issued, and travel or other costs are not covered.
