GROOVE CENTRIC
WEBSITE
Groove Centric has grown to be a trendsetting group since 2008 playing in Atlanta, GA and surrounding cities at notable venues and jazz festivals. Their evolution has given way to music that is now a complete embodiment of jazz, neo-soul, R&B, blues, pop, and funk. 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. Their debut album Crossing Bridges is now available for purchase on all digital outlets as well as physical copies at upcoming shows.
