Groovement at Duffy’s Tavern

9 pm, donations accepted, 21+

Groovement is a 6-piece high-energy funk rock band that embodies the soul of Northwest Arkansas – fun, unpredictable, and full of life.

Groovement sounds like Incubus and Robert Randolph ate some Red Hot Chili Peppers. They have big harmonies, tasteful solos, and funky songs you can dance to.

Featuring 2011 American Idol Hollywood contestant Alex Carr on vocals, the band is rounded out by Adam Becker (keyboards/organ/synth); Trey Burkett (guitar, vocals); Bryan Burkhart (drums, vocals); Jacob Johnson (sax, guitar, vocals); and Carlton Rinehart (bass, vocals).

Groovement has a reputation for putting on one of the most high-energy live performances around. They’ve been steadily building a following in the Northwest Arkansas/Northeast Oklahoma area and have been featured at some of the region’s premier festivals: Yonder Mountain’s Harvest Fest, Wakarusa, Tulsa’s Mayfest, and the Backwoods Bash.

Groovement’s debut album, Positive Step, was released on August 6, 2011. They are currently in the studio planning a spring tour in support of Positive Step, booking festivals, and writing material for the second album.
