Review of “Shoeless Grooves” — Saturday’s Performance
In addition to their amazing skills in Trigonometry, some of my students (and ex-students) have other talents. Ryan was in my Trig class last year and he was in my Algebra II class a year prior to that. His band is described as: Fusion/Jam Band/Jazz. “Shoeless Grooves” played a live gig at St. Thomas Roaster’s at 5951 Linglestown Road on Saturday, April 12, 2008 from 8:00 p.m. until 10:00 p.m. Mrs. Charles and I attended along with a plethora of Susquehanna Township students (current and alumni). I’m not a jazz fan, but I was entranced by the performance. The four young men (without shoes) shook and rattled Roaster’s in front of a very impressive and enthusiastic crowd of entertained onlookers. It obviously took long hours and dedication for these men to achieve such an ear-pleasing array of power house rhythms expertly combined into the perfect musical feast. I especially enjoyed their original compositions (check out their site below). I sat at an antique table in the back corner of the establishment with a 20 ounce hot chocolate and a unique desert pretzel. I haven’t felt so relaxed and mentally stimulated by a musical performance in a long time. I was also proud of the Susquehanna students who came to support Ryan and his talented band mates. Way to go guys!
