“On August 6th, 2011, Fayetteville, Akansas’ Groovement released their debut album, Positive Step. Recorded over the last 2 years at Sound Source Studio, this funk-rock album signifies the band’s positive outlook and ambition of things to come for the band and for life in general. The album is filled with songs reminiscent of past greats while simultaneously embracing the future of music.
The strong, soulful voice, and playful personality of Groovement frontman, Alex Carr, helped him win the Arkansas Idol competition that landed him a free ticket to Hollywood as one of the 2011 American Idol contestants. In addition to their decorated singer, the band posseses many years of professional experience and over 30 local award show nominations from Adam Becker (keyboards/organ/synth); Trey Burkett (guitar, vocals); Bryan Burkhart (drums, vocals); Jacob Johnson (sax, guitar, vocals); and Carlton Rinehart (bass, vocals).
Groovement has a reputation for putting on one of the most high-energy and professional live performances around. They’ve been steadily building a following in the Northwest Arkansas/Northeast Oklahoma area by being featured at some of the region’s premier festivals: Yonder Mountain Harvest Fest, Wakarusa, Tulsa International Mayfest, and the Backwoods Bash.”-Groovement Official
