Combining R & B, Hip-Hop, Reggae, Jazz/Funk and old style soul in heretofore unheard of combination's, Baltimore's GROOVE STU are the versatile architects of "Urban Soul Movement." Not content to construct songs on the foundation of one genre, GROOVE STU sews a million threads of rhythmic inter-connectivity with ethereal hooks that still seem to cook the sidewalks with passion and distinctiveness. While hip-hop energy percolates through the seams of each track, GROOVE STU's expert instrumentalists ground each song with a bed of funk worn musicality. Groove Stu has been exposing audiences to their musical flavor throughout the East Coast. Like Tribeca Blues, Soul Cafe & Le Bar Bat in New York.
