Experience top-notch live music in St Augustine, Savannah, and anywhere between.

Gruuve is a nickname that stuck, and for good reason. I bring unforgettably fun live music experiences to the St. Augustine / Jacksonville areas, and to the Savannah area. As a multi-instrumentalist on guitar, bass, some keys, and a singer with a wide vocal range, my multiple musical acts and diverse range of songs ensures there's live entertainment to fit every audience's appetite. I make it a point to do all those songs that you love but haven't heard in years because no one else does them! And yes, it's a dirty job, but I'm just the guy to do it. :-P

FYI...I split all tips equally with fellow musicians who are playing with me in any show.


Here's my Youtube channel...you'll find playlists for each act, plus plenty more!

I've delighting people with music my entire adult life. Get ready to sing along until your heart is content. From 70's to current, you'll hear hits from Rock to Blues to Country to Pop...everything from Prince to Def Leppard to Chris Stapleton to Journey. Bring your friends and make it a night to remember!

Now take that wide range of songs from across decades and genres, and multiply the energy level by 3X...this trio will get you up and dancing. Gruuve on electric guitar and vocals, plus skillfull bassist and drummer, this act gets the listeners excited. Don't be surprised to hear some rocked-up, blues-injected, or funkified versions of songs you already know. This successful trio has been delighting patrons at local venues for the past year, as evidenced by the upcoming shows calendar below. This act does not do boring...this is your party band!

Crafted to be a quieter and more intimate restaurant-friendly act, with a very small footprint. The latest line-up has Gruuve on electric upright bass and vocals, plus a blues guitarist and skillful cajon player who makes that box drum sound like a tiny drumkit. You'll hear some unexpected surprises from popular songs redone as slow blues or similar. We know how to turn it down and mellow it out so you can have dinner conversations without shouting, but still enjoy the musical entertainment.
Gruuve Solo is me on acoustic guitar and vocals, plus synth cello, synth string sections, and other synth instruments triggered via guitar, plus live-looping, etc. I jokingly refer to this live-looped accompaniment as Loopy Lucy & Chica Boom. But don't worry, they don't get drunk and fall off stage, nor do they take long breaks to go smoke. Volume can be as quiet or loud as desired...I can make this *sound almost like* a full band or keep it mostly acoustic with some gentle percussion looping. I'm also more than happy to accommodate last minute requests to cover cancellations of other acts if I'm available, so feel free to reach out.
This power trio brings the excitement and energy to get people up dancing, and to pull people in from the street who were walking by. This act is currently the most popular act, with regular local venues (such as DJ's Clam Shack on Hypolita St in historic downtown St Aug) and periodic invites to host the monthly Blues Jam for St Augustine Jazz Society, plus various other shows.
If you want a quieter, small-footprint trio that brings great music but at a volume that allows dinner conversations, then Gruuve's Whiskey Blues is your answer. The new lineup has Gruuve on electric upright bass and vocals, plus a guitarist and cajon player. Our small footprint and conversation-friendly volume are the perfect vibe for up-scale restaurants, wineries, distilleries, breweries, and speak-easy venues. This act is currently looking to add additional bookings, so feel free to reach out!
It's always a pleasure to bring an extended Gruuve & the Soul Shakers group to periodically host the blues open jam for St Aug Jazz Society. Here's a highlight from the last one in January 2026...a Journey deep-track called "Walks Like A Lady".
