GrooveLIVE Season 2!

, , ,

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:

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.

grooveFEST Spotlight: Thomas L

Thomas always makes highly adventurous musical selections when we choose songs to work on in lessons. This is no exception. This last event had a bit of everything: a marimba adaptation of a pop song, some jazz piano trio performance, and a 1980’s metal anthem, Van Halen’s Hot for Teacher. Anyone who is familiar with this track knows that the double bass drum shuffle runs throughout the entire track, and requires a LOT of concentration, especially so during the opening drum intro.
