   About Groundspeak
Groundspeak is a jazz fusion band that combines many musical styles. Founded in Memphis in 2005, with a deep desire to make new music. The band’s approach is part improvisational, part Memphis influenced "get down" music. Pulling from many styles (such as jazz, blues, rock, funk, singer-songwriter, and avant garde) while not forgetting about the GROOVE. Groundspeak is signed to Delta-Jam Records, which released their debut album Local Language. The album was produced by Sam Levine at Eclectic Studio in Nashville, Tennessee. Groundspeak remains active on the Memphis live-music scene, having played with acts such as Colonel Bruce Hampton and the Codetalkers, Garaj Mahal, the Dirty Dozen Brass Band, and many others. While each writing their own original music for the band, they sometimes take a backing role as the rhythm section with different local artists looking for an organic vibe.
