Ok, wow! These guys have it… In Spades! We are SO fortunate to have Grooveyard Shift for an in-store performance during the Morgan Hill Spring Wine Stroll on Saturday, April 27th. I had the pleasure of seeing them in person at Art Boutiki in San Jose and they’re great!
Seriously… a Vibraphone? You bet! It totally rounds out their sound and sets their mix apart from area Jazz/Funk bands. This band is a MUST SEE for everyone in Morgan Hill!
Fresh, Hip Mix of Jazz and Funk
San Jose based Grooveyard Shift is a find among South Bay bands and they certainly offer a fresh and fascinating addition to the Bay Area music scene. Ok, back to that vibraphone for a second… it gives Grooveyard Shift an ultra-smooth sound and fluctuates easily in purpose from song to song; floating above the action in a lyrical line or dropping beneath the groove to lay a solid foundation for the other musicians to strut their stuff.
Grooveyard Shift offers up in a mix of original tunes as well as the occasional cover in styles from straight-ahead Jazz, to Funk and Brazilian Jazz, to old-school RnB. The driving rhythms, compelling sax and sweet guitar solos will have you bobbing your head and moving your feet before you know what hit you.
I suspect you will soon have a new local-band favorite! I’ll even go so far as to say a new favorite band Period. Local or otherwise! Come by on the day of the Spring Wine Stroll from 1pm to 4pm and check them out!
Top 5 Players in Grooveyard Shift
In no particular order, here’s the Grooveyard Shift lineup:
- Madison Bohrer – Tenor Sax
- Sweeney Schragg – Guitar
- Dustin Vado – Bass
- Chris Haskett – Drums
- Dillon Vado – Vibraphone
The heart of Grooveyard Shift is made up of these five guys. I love that they have some regulars who sit in and morph the style into other exciting directions. It is a testament to their tightness and skill as a band; they are flexible enough accommodate jazz, rap and other musical talents who drop through… That says it all. Wow, what magic they make!
