What’s Going On?

One of the hottest funk bands to ever perform at the Fillmore Jazz Festival has taken the stage at the legendary Boom Boom Room located on Geary Blvd. and Fillmore St. This awesome funk band originates from North Carolina and brings to California some of the most upbeat music of our days. The band first started out from a group of friends and originally named the group Audioform, however, due to the growth of the band by adding additional members the group comprised of 8 members and thus the band known as Groove8 was born.

Although the group is still in its infancy, the group has a lot of promise and the turn out to hear them play is always amazing to see. This year they street performed in front of Marcus Books (one of America’s oldest all Black bookstore) and will later play on July 4th at the Jazz Heritage Center located at Eddy and Fillmore Streets.

The band perform locally on the East Coast, but when the Fillmore Jazz Festival rolls around all 8 members get together and take a short tour out here on the West Coast. If you haven’t heard of them please check them out. They are a funk groove band waiting to be discovered and signed by a major record label. There website can be found at www.groove8.com
