The three-piece
Groove & Grin are a three-piece British group who play classic hits from the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s together with favourite ballads and acoustic numbers. We share a soft spot for a good singalong and a well-poured pint, and we play music that people already know and love.
Editor note: TODO - replace this history with the band's real founding story: when Tom, Roger and Tyrone first played together and where the trio came together.
Tom plays harmonica and congas, adding melodic hooks and a warm rhythmic pulse to everything Groove & Grin play.
Editor note: TODO - add Tom's own words about how he got into music and what he likes to play.
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.
Editor note: TODO - add Roger's own words about influences, favourite artists and career highlights.
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.
Editor note: TODO - add Tyrone's own words about his bass, favourite grooves and what he most enjoys about playing live.
Alan plays keyboards, colouring the trio's arrangements with pads, piano and organ sounds that suit the era of the song.
Editor note: TODO - add Alan's own words about how he came to join the group and what he most enjoys about playing live.
Karl drives the whole thing along on drums, from a gentle brush behind a ballad to a full-tilt groove when the room's up on its feet.
Editor note: TODO - add Karl's own words about how he came to join the group and what he most enjoys about playing live.
