When a synthesis of sounds serves to send your senses swerving and curving through intradimensional perceptual conceptions far funkier than anything yet imagined…you may just have entered the world of the New Groove Orchestra. It's a flavour for your feet when the rhythm and blues makes you move, while your mind is working double time from the jazzy kinda horn-line. Soulful singing stokes the fire to inspire your spirit. If you hear it, get near it…don't fear the funk, embrace the funk, love the funk, its good for you like a daily dose of Vitamin G (the G stands for Groove) Be a part of our feel good nation cause we'll give you a sensation of elation.

“The New Groove Orchestra can definitely hang in terms of musicianship, and is offered an additional leg up by the efforts of lead vocalist Meghan Patrick, who isn’t afraid to belt it out. It’s always great to hear a fully realized big band that knows how to hit it, complete with tight arrangements, a strong rhythm section and ample showcasing of the different corners of the group.” - The Mirror (Montreal)
“Has the potential to stand out in a cluttered field...If you’ve grown tired of tired funk, check ‘em out” - Seven Days Newspaper
“Moves through old school funk, big band jazz, and classic soul with surprising precision” - Mondo Magazine
"Their big sound, which must be heard live, will shake up the small venue, but take our word for it: a splendid time, as someone once said, is guaranteed for all." - Montreal Gazette (October 2007)
“Even the most critical music connoisseurs cannot deny the talent of this band." - Mcgill Daily
“A female vocalist with a strong and sultry voice that can bend even the hardest critic” - The Rutland Herald
“At their best when plundering adventurous time signatures and grand arrangements that leave plenty of room to showcase the virtuosity of individual performers” - The Hour (Montreal)
“the exhilarating, affectionate approach to rhythm 'n' blues that drives this disc makes it seems timeless. And it's even better when heard live - as you will find out tonight." - Montreal Gazette July 3, ‘08
“The group's obvious devotion to the Tower of Power oeuvre and its equally evident 24/7 rehearsal for this high-profile gig made for a tight and joyous set.” - Montreal Gazette July 4, ‘08
"To say that this Groove is New would be an understatement. The Orchestra takes the genre to a level, as yet unheard by the plethora of similarly themed bands throughout history and the world over. I kid you not." - www.LiveInToronto.com
