We are very happy to announce that Unique (formally of the Screaming Daisies) has joined our funky family. For those of you who haven't witnessed Unique in action, you'll be in for a treat... she's a force. She'll be making her debut with us at Ralphstock 2009, September 27th, 2009

With the closing of the Harp & Fiddle, the question on everybody's mind is "will the Funk leave York?". While a permanent home for first Friday funk has yet to be decided on, there's a party goin' on in the month of August.

Friday, August 7th, Groove Jones will be performing an ALL AGE SHOW the York Township Park. We'll be performing from 6:30-8:00.

All ages welcome, so tell everyone you know!!

Here are the specifics:

York Township
33 Oak Street
Dallastown, PA 17313
6:30 - 8:00

For those of you have heard, Mellow D Studios (our studio of choice) was robbed sometime around May 22nd. Long story short, we lost all our tracks. But they lost the motherload, an estimated $25,000 worth of equipment (sadly, with no insurance). This is possibly the lowest thing a musician can do to a musical community... steal their music, and their means of creating it. Be on the lookout for suspicious equipment for sale... low priced studio equipment, etc.

Peace!

After much blood, sweat, and tears.....

As part of the Launch Music Conference, Groove Jones will be performing our first ALL ORIGINAL SHOW--April 17, 2009.

Here's where it's at:

Gusto’s Restaurant
335 N. Queen Street
Lancaster, Pennsylvania 17603
9:45 Showtime.

Please join in the monumental event!!

This just in! Groove Jones slated to play Ralphstock 2009... September 27, 2009. More details later.

Groove Jones is hard at work finishing up the debut CD (as yet, untitled). The CD will include some of the old GJ standards, such as "No Words," "Make It Funky," and "Sugar Devil Swamp." Many other new songs as well... "Devil's Jellyroll," "Ghost Town," "Amazing," "Hey Brother," and many others. Says Rod Goelz, "the trick is to put together a set of original songs that we can party to, rally behind, and ultimately be super proud of... it'll be worth the wait."

The word is out... Groove Jones is taking over Fat Daddy's this Friday, January 9th. Please try to make it!! The show starts at 10:30... two big sets...a party like we've never put on before. So please try to make it. Also, please help to spread the word to anyone you know who might be interested... for if we do well, we'll be a regular occurrence at Fat Daddy's.
