GROOVE is a group of energetic musicians and artists drawn together for one reason... to have fun rocking the masses! This entertainment group performs using traditional and non-traditional instruments to blend comedy, energy, personality and choreography into performances on stage and on the street. From propane tank hang drums to tubular xylophones, the instruments are the most creative in town, constructed out of construction equipment, everyday knick knacks, and anything else you could think of. Known as the best kept secret on campus, Groove's here to change your life.
Get ready to be musically litigated at Innocent Until Groovin' Guilty! In this court of rock, the people decide the fates of those who dare to entertain the masses. This criminally exciting show offers percussive evidence to prove Groove guilty of being the greatest act on Earth. More gripping than OJ, more surprising than Casey Anthony and certainly more convincing than Reese Witherspoon, Innocent Until Groovin' Guilty will leave you questioning just how far Groove is willing to go.
Doors Open at 7pm; the show starts at 7:30pm! Purchase your tickets NOW from a member of Groove, on Ticketmaster, OR at the door the day of the show. $5 for students, $8 for adults.
When’s the show, you ask? APRIL 12! Mark your calendars.
Groove is available to give your event that little extra umph that you've been looking for. We've played for other groups' shows, dance marathons, fashion shows, bar nights, birthday parties, parades, graduation ceremonies, tailgate events, and fundraising banquets.
We also want to share our music with younger generations, and we think that elementary and middle school students would enjoy learning about our unique and creative process. In past years we have done clinics and performances at nearby schools that showcase what we do and educate students on how to think about music in an inventive way.
If you work at a nearby school or are involved with youth outreach, we would love to visit and work with the students. Possible activities include performances by the Groove members, demonstrations on how we construct our instruments, and teaching the students a short song to perform with our instruments.
Contact Groove at groove.info@umich.edu if you are interested in setting up a guest performance or clinic with us!
