GrooveShine “Story Time” Hits where Singer-Songwriter Meets Rhythmic Groove
Los Angeles, CA – September 23, 2017 – “Story Time” melds acoustic-based songwriting with funk, reggae, and hip hop rhythms. GrooveShine’s third album focusses on lyric-based material from producer Mike McHugh. Song topics span a wide array of themes including ancient mythology, space travel, witches (of many forms), modern romance and other human drama.
GrooveShine combines the energy of acoustic rock with hip hop production techniques and multi-influenced beats.
