Description
Planet Groove is new to Gigmasters, but not new to the private party/wedding, festival scene. Their 7 piece, (3 piece horn section!) lineup has been together since 1994, with over 1500 shows under their belt, and over 100 Festival appearances. PG has backed up over 20 National Acts (i.e. Fabulous Thunderbirds, Eddie Money, Blue Oyster Cult, The Gatlin Bros, The Outlaws, Chubby Checker, Son Seals, Lonnie Brooks, Liquid Soul, Rare Earth, Peter Noon,etc...) The band knows over 400 songs, and the fun on stage is legendary. Not only are you booking seasoned professionals, PG has a great rapport with the audience and knows what music to play to make any event special. Oh yeah, PG features 3 lead singers, and 5 of the 7 members have music degrees!
