Tue, June 23rd - Doors 7PM - Show 7:30PM - $15

 A Special Friends and Family Night with Family Groove Company, including the debut of CSN-tial Quartet, a new band featuring Jordan Wilkow and Janis Wallin of FGC and Dave Hamilton and Anne Katzfey of 56 Hope Road, performing the music of Crosby Stills & Nash and some of their (harmony singing) friends.

Family Groove Company integrates the groove sensibility developed by funk/jazz crossover artists like Herbie Hancock and Medeski, Martin, and Wood, with thoughtful, tight songwriting that takes cues from the likes of Steely Dan and the Beatles. The result? An infectious sound the band calls "groove informed jazz/rock." Defined by rich analog keyboards, tight crunchy guitar, and a pocket-based rhythm section, FGC brings a fresh sound that bends genres and dares the listener not to dance.The band got its start in Los Angeles, where the four members met in music school, and then planted its roots in Chicago in late 2002. In the span of their career, FGC has played over 1000 shows from coast to coast, logging stage time in more than 350 venues in 34 states. Notable performances include 19 straight years at Summer Camp Festival in Illinois, rocking large Chicago stages like the Riviera Theater and Vic Theatre, and playing alongside heavyweights like Victor Wooten, moe., Umphrey’s McGee, and Lotus. The band’s discography includes five full length albums, Reachin’, The Charmer, Live in Chicago, Models and Metrics, and Through with Tomorrow.
