Groovement is a 7-piece funk-rock band that embodies the soul of Northwest Arkansas fun, unpredictable, and full of life. Currently the band is touring the U.S. in support of their highly anticipated second album, "Clouds."
Groovement sounds like a Led Zeppelin collided into a Soul Train in front of the Saint Motel; more easily described as: high-energy funk-rock. Their catchy melodies, big harmonies, tasteful solos, and funky grooves easily create songs you can dance to. Deitra Magazine describes Groovement's music as "a surprising find of funky original tunes that got the crowd boogying out of their seats, as well as some unique renditions of unexpected covers."
The playful personality and strong, soulful voice of Groovement frontman, Alex Carr, helped him win a ticket to Hollywood as one of the 2011 American Idol contestants. In addition to their decorated singer, the band posseses many years of professional experience and over 30 local award show nominations. This all-star lineup includes Adam Becker (keyboards, organ, synth); Trey Burkett (guitar, vocals); Bryan Burkhart (drums, vocals); Jacob Johnson (sax, guitar, vocals); Tom Smith (trumpet, vocals); and Carlton Rinehart (bass).
Groovement has a reputation for putting on one of the most high-energy and professional live performances around. Theyve been steadily building a following in the United States midwest by being featured at some of the regions premier festivals: Wakarusa, Yonder Mountain Harvest Festival, the Backwoods Bash, Tulsas Mayfest, Phunkberry, Highberry, Hullabaloo, and more.
Groovements second album, "Clouds," was released on August 15, 2015. You can purchase it through all major online retail outlets, this website, or at any Groovement live performance. Since the release of the album, they continue to tour, promote their music, and put smiles on the faces of movers and groovers worldwide!

PORKY'S GROOVE MACHINE:

The finest funk in all the universe is crafted on Planet Funk. After leading the revolution to overcome the evil lord Sauron, who banned brunch and syncopation, Porky sent his Groove Machine to Earth piloted by Interstellar Funk Missionary Robeert Beerchild. We carry on the tradition of this funk according to Robeert's teachings and our funk focuses on those most crucial themes of brunch, (im)maturity, and anatomy. Get the whole story here.
You can listen to our debut LP, "Magic Brunch," in May 2014 to follow up our EP, "This Would Be A Great Present For My Grandma." Enjoy the video of the recording session along with elucidating interludes and half-baked jokes.
The Groove Machine toured the country for the first time last summer (2015) starting in the Midwest and ending in New York. We had an absolute blast playing more than a dozen shows in two weeks and getting to play with old friends and make new friends along the way. Get a dose of funk to lift your spirits, set the mood on a steamy night, or accompany that most holy of Sunday meals with our live release, Pulled Pork Vol. 2: Summer of Brunch, composed of the tastiest morsels from the tour.
We had the incredible opportunity to open for Guster, play at the wonderful Mile of Music festival, and are now in the process of planning our second tour next summer (2016). Stay tuned to see when Porky's Groove Machine will be getting funky near you!
