GROOVE DADDY
 |
GROOVE DADDY is
considered one of the premier bands in the Black Hills. Combining
the funky, grooving original music of lead singer Tom Whillock's
previous project Toadstool Jamboree with a batch of brand new
material, Groovedaddy also jams hard with hip alt/classic rock
tunes, reggae jams, funk grooves, gospel and old school country
styles. At a Groovedaddy show, you'll hear tunes from artists such
as Bob Dylan, Grateful Dead and Bob Marley to Guster, Weezer, Ben
Harper and The RH Chili Peppers. Some might argue this is Tom's
second or even third wind since his days in Children which he
founded with Kory Van Sickle of Kory and the Fireflies fame - one of
South Dakota's most well known bands. Bobby Sundby plays lead
guitar; batting clean-up and playing third bass is Mike Hermanson;
Earl Bartholow is on drums/vocals and Nate Larson on percussion.
Like Tom, Earl has some notoriety in the music industry having
played with the likes of America, Jan & Dean, The Beach Boys, The
Platters and Frankie Avalon as well as in various projects out in
the Sunset Strip scene in LA. |
