Groove Corporation
Groove Corporation is an award-winning band that includes some of the best players in Southern Ontario. Their legacies include bands like Crowbar, Trailblazers, Kaya, and more. Collectively, their backgrounds and experience ranges from r’n’b and blues, to heavy rock and country; but they all have one thing in common, which is their passion for the kind of music Groove Corporation performs - funk, r’n’b, groove, soul, and a few irresistible surprises.

The band has been gaining momentum through performances at festivals and concerts throughout the region, and audiences and media alike are responding to the original approach to their repertoire, and the amazing showmanship and musicianship displayed at each and every performance. This group gives 110% every time they step on stage. One look at the crowd as they dance and participate says it all.

Known for their original takes and innovative arrangements of recognizable classics, the natural progression toward the development of Groove Corporation's original material reflects the collaboration of several personalities, all melding together to create an original, funky, bluesy style that blends beautifully with their repertoire.

Band members include Kim Campagnaro on lead vocals and congas, Steve Hilbert on bass, Alex MacDougall on lead guitar, Lily Sazz on keyboards, Frank Vignanello on drums, and our shiny horn section featuring Richard Sumstad on trumpet, and Cole G. Benjamin and Pete McFarland on saxophones.
