Groove Merchant is a band of seasoned professionals that can cater to any social occasion you desire. Whether it is a soloist for a wedding ceremony, soft dining music or a high energy dance party, we can provide the entertainment you need for a memorable event.
We are not an entertainment agency or orchestra with many bands and various musicians that tend to get "mixed and matched". Groove Merchantis one band of professional musicians who have rehearsed and played together for the past five years.
Groove Merchant Band is cost effective and easy to work with. As a totally self-managed band, we don't incur advertising, office leasing and sales commission costs, all expenses that booking agents and management companies must pass on to you. You won't need to plan your event with a sales person, agent or some other non-musician who will not be available to you during your reception. Our Bandleader/Musical Director is your single point of contact throughout all the planning stages of your event, and he is performing with the band at your reception, ensuring that all your expectations are met. Your satisfaction is our main goal, and we know that our music plays an essential role in your party's success.

Groove Merchant Band is an extremely talented group of inspired, dedicated South Florida professionals with a wealth of experience who strive to not only meet your needs, but to exceed your expectations and preconceptions of what a special event or wedding band can be. We believe our performance should be interactive in a way that engages all of the guests at your event, drawing them in and allowing them to share in the joy and excitement of your celebration.
