Acoustic Groove
Combine unerring soulful vocals, earthy syncopated rhythm, and the inescapable “X Factor” that goes hand in hand with musical greatness, and you have Vancouver’s “Acoustic Groove”, featuring Glenda Rae, Michael Taylor, and Tony Chamberlist. They are all career musicians, enjoying success and the critical reception of their peers. Glenda in particular has a burgeoning recording career, with an American recording deal in hand. Glenda’s vocal talent is a global class commodity…over four octaves of range are available to her, which she commands with incredible ease. As “Acoustic Groove”, Glenda, Michael and Tony have carved a unique space in the West Coast live music hierarchy for themselves. Elegantly simple in presentation, but delightfully complex and layered in performance, the trio sounds much bigger than the small footprint they occupy, yet amazingly, without reliance on tracks, sequences, loops, or other technical fortifications. Two voices, an acoustic guitar, and a hand drum…all the weaponry this dynamic ensemble needs to make their point!
