Groove Foundation is a four-piece covers band based right here in Hawke’s Bay, delivering the ultimate blend of reggae, funk, and disco, mixed with those great classic songs to sing and dance along to.
But for this special night, they won’t be alone. The thunderous, high-energy rhythms of Bay Batucada will be there to turn up the volume!
Join Polly on vocals, Nick on guitar, Rinie on drums and Andrew on bass for a massive night of great music with Hawke’s Bay’s premier samba band.
