About Me

HEY! Left Coast Groove is playing December 12th (Wednesday, 7:00 pm show), and December 29th (Saturday, 8:00 pm show) at Engels, in Edmonds, Wa. For those who have never seen a Left Coast Groove show,(and I guess there are still a couple of you...), here's what you can expect... NOTHING! You can't expect anything from a band that's constantly changing it's format! We will do standards, old blues, funk, maybe some originals, and some rock, but we will constantly improvise, and turn these songs into our own! That's what we do, that's why we are the most successful band of all time, with billions of fans the world over, who just don't know they're fans yet. Come, have a beer or 10, and play the most fun game in the world! It's called " find the tip jar", and if you win, we're happy! Seriously, come on out, have a good time, and hear some cool tunes that pretty much nobody else in town is playing, we're cool like that...
