Album Description

Family Groove Company is tremendously proud of their 10-track debut album, "REACHIN'". Containing 10 tracks and over an hour's worth of music, the album provides an intriguing insight into the band's unique voice. Family Groove Company's songs reflect elements of rock, funk, and jazz, and even a cursory listen to the material will reveal an uncompromised commitment to the groove. The band integrates the groove sensibility developed by James Brown and Herbie Hancock, with the more traditional song structure and consciousness of the hook revolutionized by the Beatles. Rich vocal harmonies and a passionate dedication to improvisation are the threads that tie it all together, creating a sound that captivates audiences ranging from the most casual music fan to the most critical musician. Truly, the sonic thrill one experiences with the album is exceeded only by the intensity of their live performances.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Just what I was looking for!.......2006-06-06

I have been looking for a band like Family Groove Company for my entire life! There jazz harmonic ideas encounter thick grooves, and the bands improvisational/"jam" talent is by far best done by FGP. I loved this disc because this bands not your average, boring, jam band. They are actually extremely talented and original! I would DEF. give this band & this album a huge chance. Also- I saw this band a week ago at Park West, OUTSTANDING!

5 out of 5 stars Great offering from an up-and-coming band..........2004-07-05

I was lucky enough to get ahold of an autographed copy of Reachin' (thanks FGC!) and after my first listen, I've become quite fond of it.

Family Groove Company is definitely a band on the rise. They have a sound unique to that of most run-of-the-mill jambands. Their live shows are what you really want to see, but Reachin' provides a nice alternative look at FGC's sound.

As I began listening, the first two songs, "Agenda" and "Just Like I Planned" really jumped out at me. They have such a joyous, euphoric sound that you can't help but smile. The album continues on with some nice tunes, before reaching a number of my favorites. Track 7, "One's On the Way" showcases FGC's jamming chops, and the following tunes, "Interesting Changes" and "Seein'" have really incredible vocals.

I highly reccomend purchasing both "Reachin'" and a concert ticket to the next Family Groove Company show near you!

5 out of 5 stars Put your party pants on!!!.......2002-08-20

This CD is Jumpin'!!! I've heard so many Jam Bands lately that all sound the same, but Family Groove Company's vibe is so different. Each song has it's own unique characteristics, and they're all really catchy too. FGC goes everywhere from rockin' , to bluesy, to jazz, and there's even a ballad, but every song has a truly deep groove to it. It is a FUNKY record! If you are interested in a fresh new sound to get down to, Reachin' is the answer.
