Back in my university days, my friends would often ask me to put bands together to play the various parties and events they'd organize, and out of that evolved Grooveyard, my band that plays a big variety of music with incredible energy and musicianship and is still one of the most fun things I do. If you like the idea of a veteran band of great musicians that put their own stamp on funk r&b, pop, reggae, and rock, that's us. If you want a band that sounds like every other cover band, that's NOT us.
Grooveyard is busy playing around Toronto, doing a mix of club dates and private parties and corporate events. If you want to catch us live, keep your eyes on the Jazz Bistro (www.jazzbistro.ca) as starting in April we'll resume our monthly Thursday Dance Party!
When I don't have a guitar in my hand, I'm a music programmer for both The Rex and Hugh's Room, and I do a lot of different kinds of social and corporate events, providing everything from a jazz trio for cocktails, to a cool acoustic guitar and voice duo for wedding ceremonies, to the hardest working band in Toronto , Grooveyard, playing funk and soul music that fills a dance floor. There are no shortage of musicians out there doing social and corporate events, but my experience in helping plan those events rivals many professional planners (although I work with many good ones that I can recommend), and the level of musicianship and professionalism of my colleagues is unmatched. I'd love to help you throw a great party with unforgettable live music, or have a house band at your awards gala or fundraiser, or just help you have a cool concert in your house. Let's discuss how I can help you get great music! Email casaocchipinti@icloud.com or call 416 904-5494
