They have since grown to a trendsetting group playing all around the city at venues such as The Velvet Note,The Vista Room, Venkmans, City Winery, St. James Live, Churchill Grounds, the legendary Paschal’s Restaurant, Sweet Georgia’s Juke Joint, The Artmore Hotel, Jazz Café, Acoustix Jazz Restaurant, Ambiance Lounge, The Jazz Loft, Michon’s Loft and many more. They have also performed to excited audiences in surrounding cities at venues such as Good Times Jazz Restaurant, The Perfect Note, Blues Boulevard, Chayz Lounge, The House of Blues and Savoy Restaurant.
Groove Centric has expanded their musical reach by providing melodic entertainment for many corporate events. Collectively, they have played with artists such as Mandisa, Malcolm Jamal-Warner, Jennifer Holliday, Mike Phillips, Monica, Musiq Soulchild, Jimmy Heath, India Arie, Jeff Lorber, Oliver Lake, Mighty Blues Kings, Sonny Emory and Al Green to name a few. Their familiarity with a myriad of styles became recognizable and by 2009 the band was invited to headline several jazz festivals such as the Jazz In The Alley, Marta Music Mondays, Greenville Annual Music Festival, Gwinnett Music Festival, Soca Wine and Jazz Festival and Jonesboro Food Truck and Music Festival to name a few….in which they continue to participate in annually throughout the US. Most recently, they were invited to perform for the 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021 annual Atlanta Jazz Festival as well.
As adept musicians, Groove Centric will take you on a ride beginning with sounds reminiscent of a classic Miles Davis tune, transition to the smooth sounds of Jill Scott and end by leaving you grooving to head bopping funk like that of James Brown and Earth Wind and Fire. Groove Centric’s mission is to captivate you with their eclectic blend of R&B, jazz and blues and leave you yearning for more.
