"As a musician for over 30 years and having had the pleasure of hiring over 100 acts for the Loveland Downtown Association for the last two seasons I have listened to and worked with a large number of bands .
Incoming Groove is a pleasure to work with I’ve hired them a number of times and they never disappoint. They bring a show with a wide variety of music preformed by top caliber musicians. They have music in their sets for everyone in the crowd to enjoy and dance to . Their individual musicianship is superb. Great guitar work and vocals from John and a supporting cast of seasoned pros to make every song uniquely their own.
In addition I’ve not run into a band easier to work with. They are professional and do what they say they will when they say they will do it. I wish all bands carried themselves like Incoming Groove.
You will not be disappointed hiring this band whether its for a small party or large outdoor venue they will bring the goods. Please feel free to contact me personally for more information on this great band."
