Tc & the Groove Family [ Afro Fusion]

10-piece afro fusion group TC & The Groove Family take to the road to celebrate the release of new music this summer.

“This is what I’ve been waiting to play…jazz influences, grime influences” – Jamz Supernova, BBC Radio 6

With sounds reflecting a diverse palette of genres and grooves spanning afrobeat, broken beat, jungle, jazz and grime, the group celebrate cultural diversity and community through a euphoric live show that’s captivated audiences at the likes of Glastonbury, Greenman, We Out Here and Boomtown.

The group has drawn widespread support from the likes of Jamz Supernova, Deb Grant and Craig Charles (BBCR6), Tony Minvielle (Jazz FM) and various tastemakers across national and community radio.

The forthcoming ‘We Have Each Other’ EP sees the band refine the sound debuted on their 2022 album ‘First Home’. Working once again with producer Tom Excell (Nubiyan Twist, ONIPA), the project explores a darker sonic palette, channelling a deep appreciation of UK bass and electronic music alongside afro-jazz sounds and hip-hop sensibilities.

This tour is not one to miss!

“First Home delivers as a massively triumphant outing from TC & The Groove Family – sure to be one of the standout releases of the year as well as the official launchpad to far greater successes for the boundlessly talented band” – UK Vibe
