The Groove Orient (TGO) is a high-powered, no-holds-barred, rock ‘n’ roll act based out of Orlando, FL. This five member group boasts a musical versatility and originality that many followers describe as ‘Florida rock.’ TGO has drawn attention from both local and national listeners, as they earned the title of Orlando Weekly’s best experimental band of 2014, as well as a feature in Relix Magazine’s 40th Anniversary issue.

TGO recently followed up their breakout EP Welcome to the Show, with the much anticipated release of their second EP Generation Y, at the House of Blues Orlando. Along with the House of Blues, TGO has also performed at the Florida Music Festival, Earthday Birthday, the Florida Citrus Bowl and the Suwannee Music Park, with numerous local and national festivals to come.

“The Groove Orient has been quietly impressing the live music scene in Orlando over the past few months. With obvious comparisons, in the best possible way, to the great Allman Brothers Band, these guys are amongst the most impressive group I’ve seen come out of Florida in some time.” Chris Tart - Dub Era

“The Groove Orient is a local Orlando band that shreds its hearts out on a daily basis. The band consists of Paul Terry (Drums), David Vanegas (Percussion/Bass/Vocals), David “Drillbit” Incorvaia (Electric Guitar), Chuck Magid (Electric/Acoustic Guitar/Vocals), Tommy Shugart (Hammond Organ/Electric Piano), Harry Ong (Lead Vocals/Bass) and they create a luscious combination of funk, rock n roll, southern rock, and a whole array of other influences that makes their sound so rare. This time around for “Rush” the guys combine a funky upbeat guitar lead, backed by a sea of smooth organ that is oozing with soul, alongside hard-hitting drums to keep your head nodding throughout the songs entirety. The bass and other, classic rock style-played guitar part are what kept me inclined throughout, but what shines the brightest during this new record has to be the organ, beautifully crafting the vibe from funk, to classic rock, to whatever they feel like doing next.”
