"As a musician, my interests are diverse. You could find me singing an old mountain folk ballad at a coffee house one night, playing bar room rock and roll with The Groove the next, or doing klezmer music with Sinai Mountain Ramblers. I first learned to play guitar because I wanted to make songs from my original lyrics but I've come to love playing cover tunes and instrumentals as well. As wide as my performance repertoire is, it pales in comparison to what I listen to for personal pleasure and enrichment. For me, music is a very rewarding obsession. I look for recordings that speak to me on many levels, that connect with my soul, that make me want to laugh, cry, scream, shout, or dance. Whether it's a Jimi Hendrix bootleg or a Johnny Cash cover or African tribal drums, I look for music that makes me really FEEL something.

    Our band, The Groove, is old school. We gotta do our own thing and be who we are. We are not slave to whatever musical style or trend is in vogue at the moment. Anything with substance has to have roots.
At our shows, we do my original songs as well as covers of Bob Dylan tunes, Grateful Dead songs, Santana, Tom Petty, Neil Young etc. Live, we fit into the category of "jam bands" as no two shows are the same, the set list is constantly changing and we improvise at will as the mood fits. Our studio albums really don't reflect the improvisational side of our live playing.  We play what I call "acoustic/electric organic rock and roll" We are, at the core, a rock and roll band but we tend to stretch and experiment some as well.  Free The Music allows us to do just that: free the music.
