Groove Alliance is a nine-piece dance and show band that is built around the dynamic vocals of  Mike Greene and Mari Rosa. Mike is a spirited, positive front man with a strong and clear tenor voice.  He is a natural singer, bandleader, and entertainer. Mike’s presentation skills are unmatched by any other professional working vocalist in New England.

Mari Rosa is an award-winning multi-lingual singer and songwriter from Boston, MA. A graduate of Sarah Lawrence College in New York, Mari studied voice with double Grammy nominee, Thomas Young ,and trained with Hilda Harris, mezzo soprano and session singer for dozens of legendary musicians. Whether performing a moving Celine Dion ballad or a fiery R&B standard by Aretha Franklin, Mari will simply knock you off your feet.

The combination of tight music, powerful horns, and great vocals add up to one thing, a night of quality entertainment .

The rhythm section is made up of the groovin' backbeat of Steve Carter (Mamas & the Papas), and Kevin Norris on bass. Add to that Ray Martini (The EDGE, Herb Reed and the Platters) on keyboards and vocals, and Mitch Leaman on guitars and vocals.

The veteran all-star horn section includes Pat Wroge on the saxophones, Steve Price (Wicked Big Band) on lead trumpet, and section leader Jim Robins (Infractions) on trombone.

Whether it's a challenging arrangement of a Chicago song, or a fun, funky send-up of a KC and the Sunshine Band disco hit, this well-rehearsed, talented band plays tight and hot, and can deliver ballads or up beat dance numbers with equal skill and style.

Groove Alliance is equipped with a quality sound and lighting system, and always enlists the services of a professional sound engineer. Russ Magnuson provides the Alliance with state of the art pro audio and unsurpassed live stage production.

In addition to being a regularly featured band at  Foxwoods Resort and Casino, the band can also be seen at some of the best clubs in the greater Boston area including The Copley Marriott, Boston and Whippersnappers in Londonderry, NH.

Club draw in all venues is excellent, a byproduct of consistent quality, relentless gigging, and maintaining an active mailing list and internet presence.  Professionalism in playing and presentation are Groove Alliance's chief hallmarks, and the band guarantees to rock your house!
