Earthdriver is a high powered New York City based mothership comprised of some of the hottest musicians on the scene.
From this diverse collective comes an intense hybrid of funk, rock, soul, hip-hop, drum & bass, world music, and experimental genres. Beginning as an organic meeting ground where musicians of all backgrounds were free to explore their own creativity, what has resulted is an uncensored explosion of art and music overflowing with the liberating spirit of 'harmonious subjectivity'.
Since Earthdriver is just as much a movement as it is a band, there is a common understanding of the importance of free thinking and creativity to the larger struggle in the United States and to peoples' movements around the world. Earthdriver has had the privilege of performing at a sold-out benefit concert at Madison Square Garden for political prisoner Mumia Abu Jamal as well as benefits for child amputees from war torn Sierra Leonne, the Zapatistas of Chiapas, México and victims of police brutality.
Since the group's debut show on Feb. 6, 1999 (Bob Marley's birthday), both the group as a whole and individual members' careers have gone on to flourish. Earthdriver agreed to a non-exclusive license/distribution deal with 81 Records, a Japanese label, for its debut album No One's Slave, while individual members have been enormously successful in other projects, most notablly guitarist Ryan Waters playing every date of Sade's last world tour.
Other artists that Earthdriver have collaborated with include: Peter Gabriel, recently Grammy nominated James "Blood" Ulmer, Mos Def, Ethiopian sensation GiGi, Karsh Kale, Slick Rick, Herbie Hancock, Sly & Robbie, 4 Hero and Tamar-Kali, just to name a few.
Earthdriver is currently in the studio recording their follow up album and then will commence touring.
