Jari and the Groovy Groove Band did an amazing job at my grandmother’s 75th birthday party!! They were extremely professional and the music was a mix of old and new hits which everyone loved! The whole party could not stop talking about how good they were! Jari is very responsive and easy to work with! I would definitely hire them in the future!

Jari Jams/groovy Groove band were phenomenal. Prior to the event, Jari came by to our house to plan the logistics of our special 10 year anniversary event! He asked the right questions and made us very confident in the group’s engagement to making our day special! They came to event early and were the absolute best! EVERYONE was raving about how great the band was! Their sound and engagement with the audience was nothing short of stellar! They are absolutely the best and I will be using their services again and again! This live band made it so much more special than just another dj performance! Thank you so much for your talent and personality from Al the group members!

Groovy Groove Band is a groove machine! With a blend of funky guitar riffs, tight drum grooves, and a powerhouse horn player, their sound is vibrant and dynamic. Their seamless fusion of funk, jazz, and soul creates an electrifying live experience that keeps the energy high from start to finish. If you love instrumental music that speaks for itself, don’t miss Groovy Groove Band! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
