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.

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.
