Ni Soul Troop

The band was formed initially as a 4-piece group, whose members met through their college (Andrew Dougherty on drums, Tom Hughes on bass & Becca Hopkins was the female vocalist). In the Summer of 2007, lead singer Donal Scullion decided to expand the bands membership, and bring back a bit of soul music to Belfast, NI. In the early days the members of the band fluctuated slightly, with trumpet, keys and clarinet players all being replaced.

Groundation

Groundation is a Fusion-Reggae band based in Sonoma County, California. It was established in 1998 by Harrison Stafford, Ryan Newman and Marcus Urani upon their meeting at the Jazz program at Sonoma State University. Groundation's music incorporates the lyrical struggle of Roots Reggae, the progressive musicianship of Funk/Jazz fusion, and other-worldly transcendental Dub. The 9-piece band creates an altogether new Reggae sound, featuring swirling horns, stout poly-rhythmics, and soulful harmony vocals.
