Groove Stew is comprised of friends that formed from a cover band " Green Season" that  played 50+ gigs in 5 years. "We would use the shows to try out the originals we had worked out." In that time we learned that anyone can get a gig... Try getting asked back! The setlist is crucial as is the energy you portray. We got asked back enough to keep doing it and that has led to an album of songs. We now have the second album finished! These were also recorded at Ultrasound Studios under the tuterledge of the mighty Joe Clapp. With Antelope Orion Interface, Neve, A.P.I. preamps U.A. compressors and a plethora of Logic Pro plug ins we were all happier than a horse in a field of Hay!
