About Me


Get this video and more at MySpace.com Gruvphunkshun was formed in early 2001 by Jason Stander and Michael Phillips.We put out our first album Chickenwings in 2001. While doing this I hosted an open jam night at Brooklyn's in Ybor. After that I hosted them at the Orpheum. I had a chance to play with Joel Lisi(Beanstalk) Matt White-trumpet, David Hope, and many others. I've sat in with the famous Robert Lockwood Jr. and sat in at an open jam in Hawii w/Peter Frampton. I definately have an emphasis on improvisation but do enjoy well composed stuff. In town I've played with Damon Fowler www.damonfowler.com , Ed Wright www.eddiewright.com , Tommy Bell www.tommybell.org ,Willie Lomax, Shawn Brown, Wiilie Steel, Dash Riprock, Andrew Gohman(smoking guitar), and many many others...................................................... .................................................I know we all miss the Groove Community open jams and am working on getting a new place for us to all get down. I miss playing in the "open" style and am looking forward to getting it all together again. Check back for more details and watch out for bulletins telling when and where we will do this.WORLDWIDE ZOO has recently released a 7" single with the songs titled Roots Deep(sideW) and Dust:30(sideZ), and is available at Mojo Books and Music and other fine record stores.
