Biography


The Groove Hogs - a band of 9, blazing a trail through the "what's hot, what's not" music scene of the 21st century. In a market inundated with cookie cutter, wanna-be, bands, The Groove Hogs have retained artistic integrity and melded the sum of their individual influences into something that is truly fresh and exciting. The Hogs have created a sound that is uniquely their own. 
Just a great band to have for any private party, wedding , corporate event or festival.      

2002 was the first big year for The Groove Hogs. They released their highly successful, WRONG SIDE OF THE STREET, produced by the exceptionally sought after Jim Gaines. The most popular track on the CD was "Blues is my Business" , which, during the summer of '02, held court for five weeks on the FMQB Hot 100 rock radio chart, and received an impressive amount of airplay on AAA stations around the US. Additionally, the track 'Baby's Gone' from the release was included on the NARMS GET THE BLUES 2 compilation CD which has sold more than 85,000 copies to date and has been in the BILLBOARD BLUES CHARTS TOP 5 since July of 2003. The Groove Hogs sold a whopping 20,000 copies of WRONG SIDE OF THE STREET, which is a very rare accomplishment for a band releasing a CD on its own label.

2004 marked The Groove Hogs' 10th anniversary and the release of their fourth CD. Also produced by Jim Gaines, this newest release, BLUE RHYTHMS AND WHITE LIES, treats listeners to the talents of a group of seasoned musicians wrapping around the impressive vocal ability of the young and soulful Adam Enevoldsen. BLUE RHYTHMS AND WHITE LIES explores traditional soul stylings, some pop/rock, tried and traditional R& B, and some honest to goodness blues......All American music, and all with The Groove Hogs' powerhouse energy that has become their trademark. With a 9 member lineup, and a melting pot of musical diversity, the Groove Hogs are making it on their own brand of soul drippin' rock & roll.

2007 finds the Groove Hogs preparing for a busy summer schedule. With the addition of bass guitarist Drew Hicks, the band continues to grow in both style and impact. With future plans for a live DVD, the Hogs are very busy working to prepare a show you just can't forget! When the Groove Hogs show up in your neighborhood, do yourself a favor and get out to see them. You'll be in for a treat like few you've ever experienced from a live band!
