The Opportunity

The Groove is the ONLY place in New York City to hear live FUNK, SOUL, and R&B music 7 nights a week!

What started off as a group of talented musicians jamming at the legendary 101 bar in the early 90's has evolved into a roster of rotating house bands comprised of the best musicians and performers in the city. Sure, the bands have changed slightly over the years, but as musicians have come and gone, the thing that remains consistent is the talent and passion of our musicians.

Greenwich Village has had a long history as a music mecca. Artists from far and wide have performed at the tiny clubs which once dotted every single street, however now just a few vestiges of the Village's past remain. The Groove is one that remains, honoring the rich musical tradition of Greenwich Village.

The Band

Groups with a good Funk/Soul/R&B sound, or that have elements of these kinds of music should apply. Jazz also considered. We look forward to hearing from you!
