A long, long time ago... twenty-two years actually...The Earthtones formed in
State College, PA, a.k.a. Penn State. Early on, The Earthtones earned a reputation for being a great
band to see if you wanted to guarantee yourself...a deep groove to dance
to...music with positive words to sing along with...and an occasion of
undeniable celebration. Many of their fans are international students who have
taken The Earthtones recordings back home to every corner of the world.
They have endured many personnel changes over the years but, one person has
remained constant...founder/leader and lead vocalist, Rodney "RT" Thompson. As
the only original member, he has been the band's foundation, front man, rhythm
guitarist and spiritual leader.
RT has always said, "It starts with the music", and with this simple philosophy
he has guided The Earthtones to success opening up for major reggae acts like
"The Wailers", "Ziggy Marley", "Culture", and "Burning Spear" to name a few.
The grooves are tight & deep, and they have been writing and debuting new
original material; looking forward to their next CD release. Their last
release was a compilation CD titled, "Full Circle", containing the best of their
first 3 recordings..."Spirits" [the vinyl album/cassette release]..."Earthtones
Live" [cassette only]...and their first CD release "The Coast Is Clear"[out of
print].
