Groove Metropolis

About Me

Visionary music producer, Gerald McCauley and vocalist, Val Watson reunite to form Groove Metropolis. Previous collaborations produced Watson's URBAL and LIVE AT THE FUNK LOUNGE projects."I love working with Val! We share the same interests in music and respect 'our craft.' She's an awesome songwriter with a unique vocal style and my favorite artist on the planet! Both of us come from a band background. So, Groove Metropolis comes natural.""Normally, I'm behind-the-scenes producing. Now, in Groove Metropolis I am out front, singing and playing with Val. We went into the studio and had big fun! We collaborated with BiggJohn, Chuckii Booker & Boy-Russ, Alex Al, Ricky Lawson, Frank Fontaine, X-Man and Cornelius Mims to enhance our core sound. We call our musicians "Mu-citizens." Our Friends are called "Metropians." Groove Metropolis is heavily Influenced by an '80's Vibe, but, with a modern twist." - explains McCauley.Groove Metropolis
