About the venue:


The Groove, capacity 140, 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.



In addition to all the great bands featured here at the Groove, it is not at all uncommon to see celebrities such as Chaka Khan, Lisa Lisa, Peter Guns and Lord Tariq to name just a few jam with one of the Groove bands. In fact, even Prince and future hall of famers Shaquille O'Neal and Michael Strahan have been spotted doing their thing at the Groove. In addition to famous artists stopping in to jam with the band for the evening, most of the Groove musicians have toured with legendary artists at one time or another.
