Booking Information

What exactly is Groovethang? And why should you consider us for your next party or function?

Groovethang is a 7 piece band from St. Louis that has become known for their "faithful reproduction" of some of music's most popular groups. Artists such as Steely Dan, Earth Wind & Fire, The Doobie Brothers, Chicago, Al Green and The Bee Gee's just to name a few. Kristie McClanahan of St. Louis Riverfront Times says that what Groovethang is able to accomplish is "an exercise in small miracles". And she also proclaims that with their live performances of some of Pop's most complex music, Groovethang "restores the tribute to the tribute show"!

Since 1997 Groovethang has become known for special "tribute" shows, at which we are able to focus on some of our favorite artist'. Most notably, our tribute to Steely Dan, called Showbiz Kids, has become a yearly show at The Pageant in St. Louis. Those sold out performances the past two years have also raised thousands of dollars to benefit The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Groovethang recently opened for Sheryl Crow at The Savis Center for Anheuser Busch's Christmas Party and also shared the stage with Canadian Crooner Michael Buble' at another private function.

Here are a few things to consider.

Much thought and consideration goes into everything we do. We work hard to make sure that the music we play sounds as close to the original as possible. Our diverse playlist actually allows us to musically "ease" into your private party, instead of starting at full blast. In other words, Groovethang won't make your ears bleed! From our "state of the art" sound system, to the music we play between our sets, we always strive to make a "Groovethang Party" something that you will always remember for the quality, and the fun.

Simply put, it's all about the music!

Testimonials from our clients.

Rose Mann, Anheuser Busch St. Louis. Rose.Mann@anheuser-busch.com

Groovethang is not only a great band but they are also special people. They exude energy and are completely personable without ego. These are great guys and they are extremely talented in their craft. If I go to a Groovethang show I know it's going to be a great evening. I was able to recommend that AB hire the band to play our recent Anheuser-Busch Christmas party where they opened for Sheryl Crow. In my personal opinion, they showed her up big time! They performed their Steely Dan tribute and totally rocked! Anyone who books them is sure to have a great night of music, along with some equally great guys!

"You just wouldn't believe all of the people that just can't stop talking about Groovethang's performance at our Grand Opening Party for the new St. Louis location! They are able to perform such complex, great music that the average band wouldn't even attempt. We even partied with them the very next evening at The Ritz Carlton Hotel because we couldn't get enough! We had the best time and we really appreciate what they do."

"I had Groovethang play at my wedding at The Ritz Carlton in St. Louis last year, and for months after my wedding, people were STILL talking about how much fun they had and how awesome my band was. When I was ready to hire a band for my wedding, I didn't want the same ol', boring, predictable type band play you find play at most weddings (you know the kind of band that plays the same boring stuff you've heard time and time again?). I knew I wanted MY wedding to be different, but still needed a band to appeal to a wide range of guests, from my 86 year old grandmother to my 20-35 year old friends & family who traveled from far and wide to attend our wedding. Grovethang fit that bill. They were a hit with my 60 year old mother-in-law to my 19 year old cousin in college. Honestly, horses couldn't DRAG people away from my wedding reception, thanks to Groovethang."
