Rare Grooves

Enjoy Poetry, Open Mic, DJ/Dance Party, Hors D'oeuvres and more!!

Rare Grooves Non-Profit 501c Fundraiser Event:
Friday, April 4th to Saturday, April 5th

Rare Grooves is music that is very hard to source or relatively obscure. Rare Grooves are primarily associated with funk, R&B and jazz. But it is also connected to subgenres including jazz rock, reggae, Latin jazz, soul, rock music, northern soul, and disco.

Rare Grooves makes you think about all those vinyl records that you have packed away in those milk crates in your basement. But more importantly Rare Grooves are those songs that make you say to yourselves “Dayum, That’s my Jawn!”

So, this evening, SOJP Artistic Director Kimpedro’s NuGruv Network, a collective of some of the most dynamic musicians you’ll ever see or hear, and whose configuration always changes, will take you on a mystic voyage of Rare Grooves.

This event will include showcases from the best Poets and Jazz musicians, refreshments and great entertainment. More details below!
