Portrait of Roger, lead vocalist and acoustic guitarist in Groove & Grin.

Roger

Lead vocals and acoustic guitar

Roger sings lead vocals and plays acoustic guitar. He fronts most of the set and picks a lot of the songs the band knows will get a room singing along.

Portrait of Tyrone, Fender Jazz bass player in Groove & Grin.

Tyrone

Fender Jazz bass

Tyrone holds it together on Fender Jazz bass and smiles a lot -- essential in this line-up. Between them, the three of us cover the low end, the top end and every grin in between.

Keyboards

Alan plays keyboards, colouring the trio's arrangements with pads, piano and organ sounds that suit the era of the song.
