Rock Band? Musical Theater? The Best Of Both.

New York City trio GrooveLily inhabits that contemporary space where creative musicians ignore the boundaries laid down by words like rock, folk, jazz, and pop. Intelligent original songs with no shortage of wit connect lush musical textures and soaring vocals with the blazing six-string electric violin of Valerie Vigoda, the lightning-fingered piano of Brendan Milburn, and the joyful drums of Gene Lewin. With backgrounds in classical music, musical theater, jazz, and rock, the three members of GrooveLily are making a new music that's all their own. Buoyed by the success of their critically-acclaimed holiday concert-musical "Striking 12," GrooveLily looks forward to making your acquaintance.

  • March 2007 : "Pair of Jacks": We're very psyched to be part of Dances Patrelle's presentation of "High Stakes," which features two world premiere ballets set to new commissioned scores. GrooveLily composed and recorded the score to "Pair of Jacks," choreographed by our good friend Leda Meredith, performed by Duncan Cooper and Julie Voshell.
