Formed in the winter of 1994 as a four-piece blues outfit, the Groove Hogs was initially meant to be a side project. Guitarist Pat Kiel relates: "A few of us were working together in a full-time band playing clubs, weddings and corporate gigs. That got old real fast, so we decided to form The Groove Hogs as a musical release". The band wrote some originals and covered material by Robben Ford, Delbert McClinton, B.B. King, and Albert Collins, to name a few.
As the band's ambition grew, so did their size. In early 1996 they added a four-piece horn section, expanding to eight members. Shortly after, they added a trombonist to the lineup. The large addition gave the Hogs a means to expand upon the blues-based music they had been playing. It was also evident that their new sound was just as appealing to their audience as it was to the band itself.
By this time the local buzz was loud - loud enough that all members quickly realized this "part-time project" deserved their full attention. All other musical projects were disbanded. The band turned its attention to more songwriting. Of course, putting nine musicians with varied backgrounds together under one common roof creates the chance for either mass chaos or great opportunity. Fortunately for the band, opportunity won out.
Personnel: Adam Enevoldsen (lead vocals, guitar); Pat Kiel (guitar); John Laws (bass); John Stelzer (drums, backing vocals); Brian Gruselle (Hammond organ, keyboards, backing vocals); Steve Cooper (tenor saxophone, backing vocals); Adam Plamann (bariton saxophone, backing vocals); Doug Daniels (alto & tenor saxophone); Tom Vanden Avond (trombone); Greg Garcia (trumpet); Jackie Johnson, Reba Russell (vocals tracks 3, 11).
