The Groove Orient (TGO) is a high-powered, no-holds-barred, rock ânâ roll act based out of Orlando, FL. This five member group boasts a musical versatility and originality that many followers describe as âFlorida rock.â TGO has drawn attention from both local and national listeners, as they earned the title of Orlando Weeklyâs best experimental band of 2014, as well as a feature in Relix Magazineâs 40th Anniversary issue. TGO recently followed up their breakout EP Welcome to the Show, with the much anticipated release of their second EP Generation Y, at the House of Blues Orlando. Along with the House of Blues, TGO has also performed at the Florida Music Festival, Earthday Birthday, the Florida Citrus Bowl and the Suwannee Music Park, with numerous local and national festivals to come.
âAmong the many gifts given with both hands to formerly local, currently New York-prowling singer-songwriter Kaleigh Baker â aside from that Swiss Army knife of a voice â is her innate grasp of momentum. On her new EP, The Weight of It All, Baker and producer Justin Beckler play the puppet masters, building suspense without ever seeming coy about it. Baker is capable of communicating volumes with a simple vocal lilt, and on the moments in which her register nose-dives headfirst into the emotional muck (âSugardaddyâ) or propels like a jet into the stratosphere (âLove Letter to a Burning Manâ), she never fails to rouse the senses. The Weight of It All is the roar of a soulful lioness and will go a long way toward proving to the world what Orlandoâs known for a long time: Kaleigh Baker is a legend in the making.â â Justin Strout, Orlando Weekly
