Groovatron adds elements of funk, rock, and jam to subtle influences of reggae and jazz in order to create something entirely new. All six members of Groovatron sing and write songs that are catchy enough to land them college radio airplay, yet musically complex enough to satisfy even the hardcore fans. The band mates met in high school in Munster, Indiana, just 20 miles outside of Chicago. Through their insatiable love of music and their intense work ethic, they weeded out the undedicated members of their respective bands and eventually formed Groovatron…and they have been inseparable ever since. Groovatron spent many a night working on complex original compositions with quirky lyrical segments, eventually amassing a large repertoire of original material. Some of these songs made it onto their critically acclaimed second studio album entitled, “Yes Have Some” released in the fall of 2001. Since then major jamband promotional powerhouses like Relix Magazine and JamBase.com have given Groovatron favorable reviews and approval, causing some college radio stations to take notice, which in turn earned them fans throughout the U.S. With the addition of a booking agent, Groovatron began to tour heavily and have not stopped. The year 2002 saw Groovatron perform 144 shows in 14 different states and share the stage with members of The Grateful Dead, Keller Williams, moe., Ekoostik Hookah, Jazz Mandolin Project, and many others. In 2003, Groovatron has taken a "quality not quantity" approach to their live shows. They have repeatedly performed at such prestigious venues as The Double Door in Chicago, The Canopy Club in Champaign-Urbana, and The Bluebird in Bloomington. Groovatron has also linked up with the likes of Karl Denson's Tiny Universe, Peter Apfelbaum of the Trey Anastasio Band, The Dirty Dozen Brass Band, Particle, Colonel Bruce Hampton, and more. They've gained a lot of exposure performing at the 2002 and 2003 moe. Summer Camp Festivals, the 2003 Taste of Chicago (which boasts an annual attendance of 3.6 million people), and the beautiful 1000 seat Park West Theater in Chicago with The John Scofield Band. So come on and get in on with Groovatron!
