ABOUT

Blue Groove is a multiple award-winning bluegrass band that hails from Minneapolis/St Paul, and are active members of the Minnesota Bluegrass & Old-Time Music Association's (MBOTMA), and the Bluegrass Music Association of Iowa (BMAI). The band covers material from a number of past and current bluegrass artists, and presents a few originals as well. The Blue Groove sound leans towards a more contemporary vibe (Alison Krauss, Rhonda Vincent), while maintaining ties to traditional bluegrass (Bill Monroe, Flatt & Scruggs) and all of its drive, improvisation and harmony singing!

The band is comprised of experienced veteran players and singers, as well as some new faces in the bluegrass scene. The band members are Adelle Hyrkas, lead vocals and rhythm guitar; [currently seeking], mandolin and lead vocal; David Smith, banjo and vocal harmony; Bob Doe, lead guitar, dobro, and vocals; and Tom Erickson, upright bass fiddle.
