Testimonials: Word On The Street
The Groove Kings have performed at Pho Cao a couple of times. They are super reliable and always come early before the gig to prepare. They are truly talented musicians. They are very professional on and off the stage. The vocalist has an amazing voice that would intrigue the crowd of any size. We’d love to book them again. We highly recommend this band for live entertainment.
Victor - Owner of Pho Cao

Don - Owner of Chaparral
| The Groove Kings were awesome! From the time of booking through the actual event they were very professional- they even put a set list of songs together for my review before the party! They are very accommodating, super nice and very talented. All the guests loved them and they were the hit of the party! I highly recommend them for your next event... very reasonable too! Thank you Grove kings for making my mother-in-law‘s 80th birthday a complete hit! You guys rock! Janet Somerville |
