Collectively, they have played with artists such as Malcolm Jamal-Warner, Monica, Musiq Soulchild, Jimmy Heath, India Arie, Jeff Lorber, Oliver Lake, Mighty Blues Kings, Sonny Emory and Al Green to name a few. Their familiarity with a myriad of styles became recognizable by 2009, the band was invited to headline several jazz festivals and have continued to headline annually. Their evolution has given way to music that is now a complete embodiment of jazz, neo-soul, R&B, blues, pop, and funk. As adept musicians, they will take you on a ride beginning with a classic Miles Davis song, transition to the smooth sounds of Jill Scott and end by leaving you grooving to the head bopping funk of James Brown and Earth Wind and Fire. Groove Centric's mission is to captivate you with their eclectic blend of R&B, jazz and blues and leave you yearning for more. Mike Jones on sax, Keith Barnes on guitar, Joel Powell on bass, and Brien Andrews on drums.
