BAND BIO
United for the sole purpose of spreading a love of funk, reggae, ska, and rock, Principle Groove imparts talent, passion, and a festive stage show to eager fans. Though creatively conspiring in Corvallis, OR, Principle Groove draws inspiration from each members varied origins, including Southern jam band influence of Curtis Monette (lead guitarist/vocals), and the Hawaiian reggae roots of Matt Urabe (vocals/keyboards/tenor saxophone). Rob Pawlowski (trumpet) adds a vivid layer of horns onto an already fulfilling musical experience. Kailana Baldwin-Francis (bass/vocals) and Lance Lacey (drums) fuse to complete a rhythm section worthy of replacing your Grandfather’s funkiest of clocks. All congealed behind the polished melodies and entertaining banter of Johnny Desmarteau (vocals/rhythm guitar). Recently, Principle Groove has shared the stage with Amadan, Intervision, Outpost, Tony Smiley, State of Jefferson, Uprite Dub Orchestra, Satori, Natural Vibrations, Debra Arlyn, Canoe, Flowmotion, Sauce Policy, Raise the Bridges, and Ghostland Observatory. Principle Groove is capable of provoking the dance moves out of any concert goer.
