The Unknowns
"There are songs that just stand out because they are so different from everything out there. “Stay Down Kat”, by The Unknowns, is definitely one of those songs. There’s a suave, jazzy, bluesy feel to this song, with great lead and backing vocals. It’s sultry, sensual, mysterious, and controlled, yet it has its powerful moments. And who can resist a great sax solo? Those things will draw you in, and soon The Unknowns will be known."
STRANGE BRUE Band
"Strange Brue IS strangely brewing a music storm of radiant light that you can feel in your bones forever.

Groove Ride
"If you're considering Groove Ride for your wedding or event, stop searching and book them immediately.
Groove Ride was hands-down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the very beginning, Doc was incredible to work with. He was responsive, organized, thoughtful, and made the entire planning process feel effortless. Every question was answered quickly, every detail was handled professionally, and he gave us complete confidence that the entertainment would be amazing.
And wow—did they deliver. The band absolutely brought the party. Our dance floor was packed all night long, from the first song to the last. The energy, talent, and ability to read the crowd were unmatched. We had guests of all ages dancing, singing along, and having the time of their lives.
One of the things we heard over and over throughout the night was, “Where did you find this band?” and “They are incredible!” Our guests are still talking about them weeks later.
If you want a band that will keep your guests engaged, create unforgettable memories, and make your reception the party everyone talks about, Groove Ride is it. We cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you, Doc and the entire Groove Ride team, for helping make our wedding so special and so much fun!"
The Groove Merchants
"The Groove Merchants made our wedding night. Jefferson could not have been more infectious of an energy and we had so much fun. Thank you Groove Merchants x one million. They went above and beyond and helped us overcome issues with sprinklers at the venue and an event planner that was completely inept and non existent. Groove merchants overcame it all and made our party into a great memory"
