Bio

This band started at a party. Two musicians living about 4 houses away from each other started talking music and thought playing together might be fun. They were right. They had only been living on the same block for . Never too late to start a new band.

Groove Alchemy plays Original music that moves between Rock, New Orleans Funk, Ska and Latin styles with lyrics about real-world experiences touching on everything from Insomnia to the wild weather that often seems so be upon us. We also play related covers from the Meters to Steely Dan. Our songs keep the focus on dancing even as we enhance some of our material with collective soloing and improvisation.

Musicians in the band have deep experience playing in local tribute bands – the bassist played in Who Too (The Who) and our sax player still plays in Slinky Thing( Steely Dan). We also all have played in original and cover bands from a wide range of styles from New Orleans Funk to Blues to Jazz and other World styles but we all have Rock in common.
