EarthStone is a fusion of musics & styles, world & urban, always rocking the groove. Begun in the early '90's as an outlet for Rodney Roach's many years of experience in world beat. The focus has expanded from the early emphasis on african/caribbean/latin and ska/English beat styles to include funk, urban, blues, jazz, latin, & psychedelic rock elements. Graced by some excellent musicians over time, EarthStone as heard here has Eddie Checchio as guitarist & collaborator on several tracks. Multi-instrumentalist Rodney Roach on keys, bass, tenor sax, guitar, harmonica, percussion, rhythm programming, and vocals.
