Groova Scape at Dogtown

Groova Scape brings a fresh, powerful vibe to their bluesy shows, which are always packed with fun and surprises. World-class vocalist Brittany Sparks and veteran guitarist Henry Lazenby front this five-piece known for its startlingly good original tunes. Groova Scape has a super solid foundation provided by the spot on and exhilarating drumming of Matt Leonard and tight funky bass grooves provided by Scott Sutton. Ben Hite tops it all off with fresh Jazzy keyboard lines and vocals.
When Sparks turns loose those pipes, audiences sit up and take notice, then howl for more.

Another treat are the words of lyricist Marcus Morris, who has written a host of songs with Lazenby, including, “The Revolution”: “The sun catches fire in the eastern sky. You sailors be warned, for this tide will rise.”
“Those guys have written some truly great songs,” says longtime promoter and music scene guru Gary Jackson.
All of it adds up to a festival-tested band that is ready to move to the next level after six years and hundreds of shows worth of seasoning on the stages of Virginia, the Carolinas, Maryland and West Virginia.
The products of that experience are blues/rock arrangements that conjure up all sorts of jazzy, funky surprises. Groova simply knows how to find the groove every single night, and they’ll do it without assaulting your ears or insulting your intelligence.
