One of the primary functions of grooveKSQ is to support independent musicians and artists. We are pleased to announce the first two performers of the second season grooveLIVE, which is a high quality video stream you can watch right here at the website, on our Facebook page, or on our YouTube channel.
Season Two of grooveLIVE will occur on the following dates:
January 27, 2020
February 10, 2020
February 24, 2020
March 10, 2020
March 22, 2020
April 6, 2020
A couple of adjustments from the pilot episodes we ran last year: the livestreams are moved to Monday nights, right before Monday Night Football, with a 7:30pm start and a 30 minute program. You’ll notice that the second event in March falls on Sunday, March 22, 2020. There will be much more detail about that event as we get closer. Expect an announcement right after Christmas 2019.
Our first two performers are both excellent:

One thing that surprises people about grooveKSQ is that our students aren’t just kids or high school students. In fact, quite a few adults and experienced players drop in to work on specific skills, or have a chops session (basically an intense rudimental workout to improve speed/dexterity), or just play double drums with me and have fun.

People may think that studying at grooveKSQ is something for younger students. However, many experienced players drop by the studio to work out also, and the results are a lot of fun, and occasionally really loud....
If you are an adult that played drums in the past and want to get back into it, or a working drummer that wants to change some things up, let's talk.
CALLING ALL RECORD COLLECTORS AND ENTHUSIASTS!
On Tuesday, January 14th, grooveKSQ will host our first Tuesday Night Vinyl… a get together for music lovers who want to share their favorite records with a group of like minded people. This is a great opportunity for indie artists to bring their own work and share what they have created!
First, a big THANK YOU to every one of the students’ friends and families that came out on a rainy and cold evening to support our young performers. Such a strong show of support really helps to encourage the students to continue with their hard work and dedication to musical performance.
Later this week, you will see some video of excerpts of the performances from last night, but for now, please enjoy some photos!
