Blues, funk, reggae, psychedelic and rock influences combine to create a band beyond classification. From the sweet mellow sounds of southern rock to the wild, chaotic psychedelic freekouts, the Groove Prophets move like a swift vessel of hope in a music world dominated by mediocrity…a rhythmic, harmonic and lyric tye-dye across a dark, bland and grey world. The only way to experience this unique creation is to dive in, to become a part of the ever-evolving universe of sound, light, and near ritualistic dance, and ultimately to become a part of the show itself- a mix of music, intoxication of the senses, and a colorful array of people that range from weird to wild.
The force that drives the celebration is the Groove Prophets. Drawing from classic rock and psychedelic pioneers such as the Grateful Dead, The Doors, and the Band, as well as jam heavyweights such as Phish, Widespread Panic, Moe., and the Black Crowes, and even entering the weird realm of bands like The Mars Volta, Ween and Tool, The Groove Prophets experiment within a unique structure. There is no limit to how far the music can be taken. At the helm of this musical vehicle is the rhythm section of Jim Fultz and Brandon Pappas. With thundering drums and percussion, they shape the backbone of this unit. The powerful bass of Tony Quintus moves the band into a new funky dimension, while the triple threat attack of Josh Riley’s keys/organ/synth combo add an ethereal layer to the mix. The prolific writing/arranging/rhythm guitar playing of Don Gordon add intelligence and direction, while the face melting guitar acrobatics of Ryan Bunetta set the group afire.

Hey Guys... Sorry I haven't been on your site to visit in a while... Can't wait for your show on the 21st... its the day before my Bday... YEAH!!!! I can't believe that YOUR Psychedelic Carnival theme has been STOLEN!!! That is so lame... you would think that people want to come up with their OWN, ORIGINAL ideas.... WHAT A JOKE!?! ALL of your fans, anyone at your shows, and at the Quarry Park know who the originators of the idea were... And we loved it... It was very exciting and could NEVER be repeated or copied by any means... it just wouldn't be the same... Thank you all for putting on some really great shows, entertaining acts, AND ALWAYS BEING TRUE TO WHO YOU ARE... MUCH LOVE... CHRIS

Anyone hear about the Universal Church of Love and Music???? PA drug force rushed the gate, pointed automatic weapons at all children, cited a ton of people for minor drug charges.... stole trailer full of merch (clean pipes, t-shirts, food, water)... proceeded to steal over 15,000 cash.... and thats just the tip of the ice berg.....
The men in blue -really- fucked up this time. Regardless of how strange these hippies may sound, they -ARE- an accredited church, and the -ARE- entitled to their religious sacraments and the same freedoms granted to every other whack-job church.
What kind of a person raids a church ceremony? Even if these guys are taking drugs, its still a peaceful CHURCH CEREMONY! We live in a word of rapists, murderers, crackheads, and business criminals, and our police state is wasting their time and resources busting churches?!?!?!.... I'm as shocked as I am angry... Change Americas drug policy NOW!
