GROOVIN' EASY
ABOUT GROOVIN' EASY
Groovin' Easy is a 9-piece swing band that features 4 horns and 4 rhythm to create its unique big band sound. Our female vocalist rounds out the group, treating the audience to the great vocals of that fabulous era.
Our repertoire includes classic tunes by Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, Count Basie, Ella Fitzgerald, Rosemary Clooney, Frank Sinatra, Perry Como, Billie Holiday and even Elvis Presley.
The band based out of Morris County, NJ, performs throughout the metropolitan area for restaurants, summer concerts, senior citizen facilities, weddings, fundraisers and dances.
We love to play for our senior citizen's in the area. You may have seen us at the Oaks in Denville, St. Francis Senior Living in Denville, Mary Heart Nursing Home, Cranes Mill in Caldwell, Heath Village in Hackettstown, The River Walk in Hackettstown, The Chelsea in Sparta, and Bristol Glen in Newton NJ.
In 2025 Groovin Easy performed at the Bowling Green Beer Garden in Oak Ridge , Italian Night at St. Therese church and at Star of the Sea church in Lake Hopatcong for their International night to a sold out crowd.
Throughout the course of our members' 9-year collaboration, we have won over the hearts of music lovers from all walks of life and across all genres.
If your organization is looking for that special band for your event, please give John, our manager, a call on 201 213 7676 or email skydrummer74@gmail.com

Thanks for coming to Heath Village last night. We enjoyed your show very much and I will be on Tracy's back to have you come again. We, in the back row, sang and clapped along with many of the songs. The solo performers were outstanding ! The trumpet ! Trombone, drummer, vocalist and whoever I've forgotten to name. We had a good time. –
