Performances and recitals will take place on the last Friday of the month through 2024.
The Groove Room is a venue where we hold our monthly recitals, where budding or accomplished musicians of all ages are invited to perform in front of a live audience. Students are encouraged to take part, either as a solo recital, or with others, in a group or ensemble.
The vibe is always casual, with genres covering rock, pop, jazz and folk.
We do not charge a recital or performance fee, although, there is a $5.00 admission, which includes a beverage and dessert. All funds raised go toward helping those in need. In the past. Funds have gone to sending needy children to camp over the summer and sponsoring a Syrian refugee family.
St. Augustine of Canterbury Church thought that there was a need in the community for a place for musicians to perform that is safe and friendly. With the help of Kevin McCloskey of the Leaside Music School we decided to set up The Groove Room coffee house. If you want to perform please contact Kevin at the school.
