https://www.musicnewjersey.com Emily pays homage to Tom Jones with her soulful rendition of this Jones' classic, It's Not Unusual. Seen here performing during one of The State Theater's Studio Sessions. Emily Grove is a singer-songwriter and musician from Wall, New Jersey. Her sound has been described as alternative folk. Emily Grove is active in the Asbury Park music scene in Monmouth County, New Jersey. Emily was the recipient of the 2011 and 2012 Asbury Music Awards for Best Female Acoustic Act, and 2011 and 2012 Jersey Acoustic Music Awards for Top Female Vocalist and Top Female Songwriter. She has played with and opened for Glen Burtnik, Willie Nile, Ari Hest, Rhett Miller (Old 97s), Marshall Crenshaw, Dan Reed Network, and John Lefler (Dashboard Confessional). Grove has toured the UK and US opening for and playing with David Ford. Grove also performs in venues ranging from well known New Jersey music venues such as The Saint and the Stone Pony through music venues in New York City and Boston. Grove's style has been described as blending the 1970s sounds of Carole King with the "orchestrated texture of The Band" and John Prine. Her songs have been described as including elements of country and rock and roll blended with poetry. Regarding musical influences, Grove says that her parents listened to Johnny Cash, watched the country music stations, and listened to Americana music. Her mother loved Paul Simon, and she was named Emily named after the song "For Emily Whenever I May Find Her." Her father enjoyed the Rolling Stones and The Beatles. She was born on Jerry Garcia's birthday, which brought attention to the music of the Grateful Dead. Discography Her album, "Way Across the Sea" was produced by Jack Daley (Lenny Kravitz). The title track, "Way Across The Sea," describes her crush on an unnamed rock and roll star. "Falling" is described as reminiscent of the styles of Carly Simon and Carole King. "Today" was inspired by a particularly long Sopranos marathon. "Flea," the first song Grove ever wrote, is a folk song based on a poem by John Donne, and is consistent with the style of artists like Jane Wiedlin and Alanis Morissette. The album ends with, "Procrastination," done in the style of Natalie Merchant. Her second album, released in 2014, "Life of a Commoner", was produced by Jason Rubal of Seventh Wave Studio (Amanda Palmer). Her vocals on "Spider" have been compared to the vocals of both Annie Haslam and Dolores O'Riordan. "Scream" combines a Nicole Atkins sound with R.E.M. energy. "The Call" tells a Janis Ian-like story. "Johnny Lee" is done in the style of a Celtic love song. To reserve Emily Grove, contact us at:

!@Downtown Groove, Medley, NJ Wedding Band, NY, CT, Party, Dance, Events...


Hot NYC Dance Band Gets the Party Started!

(908)464-0038  or  (908)451-1955

Downtown Groove -- Medley of  16 Songs

Hot NYC dance band, performing spot on covers of a wide range of music from 50's, 60's 70's, to ethnic music all the way to the most current hits you find at the top of today's charts!

One of our latest live music bands.  Our customers have been asking for smaller bands and groups. We heard you loud and clear...so here they are!  Sometimes, when you are planning a wedding or a small party, there simply isn't enough space for a 12+ piece orchestra.  For those times when space is tight, and for those times when the budget is even tighter.

These guys are the antidote to the dj/band dilemma.  Your parents want the class and elegance of a live band, you want to hear the songs just like they sound on the radio!  The female lead of this group (Carla) is a dj.  We call her a keejay, because she plays the keyboard, sings and dj's at the same event.  It's a great option, which will please young and old, alike.

The link below is the link to our KeeJay videos.

"Call Me Maybe"   -    http://youtu.be/og8WaY2BHjM
"Godfather Theme"   - http://youtu.be/aq_IbT9ocEA
"The Power of Love"   -  http://youtu.be/V3N-4uqa5Cg

This band can, also, be booked as a three to seven piece group.  The group that is featured in this video is a four piece band.  If you were to add members to this group you would add horns.

The songs included in this video are as follows:
1.  I'm all Shook up, Elvis Presley, do-wop classic.
2.  My Girl, Motown classic.
3.  Heaven Must be Missing an Angel,Disco Classic.
4.  Heaven Knows, Donna Summer Classic.
5.  The Prayer, song made famous by Celine Dion
6.  Just Give me a Reason, Pink song
7.  Yeah 3x, Chris Brown...Dance
8.  New York State of Mind, Billy Joel
9.  We found Love (in a hopeless place), Rihanna
10. Don't Stop Believing, Journey -- Rock Classic
11. Fly me to the Moon, Jazz Standard
12. Hava Nagila, Jewish Folk Song
13. Brazillian Song, Dance Song
