Smooth Groove

 Professional, engaging, and affordable entertainment tailored to your audience and occasion, featuring timeless songs, cherished memories, and music everyone can enjoy, sing along to, and remember. We perform a rich variety of vocal and instrumental favorites from the "Greatest Generation" and the "Great American Songbook," bringing the classic sounds and beloved melodies of a bygone era to life for audiences of all ages. 

Whether it's nostalgic standards, swing, jazz, early rock and roll, or beloved sing-along favorites, our performances are designed to entertain, engage, and bring back cherished memories for audiences of all ages.

We perform a wide variety of timeless favorites, keeping this wonderful music alive and proving that these classic songs are far from forgotten.

Appropriately named "Smooth Groove," our group has been entertaining audiences since 2012 with a unique blend of musical talent, professionalism, and audience engagement.

Smooth Groove features the exceptional talents of Duane Martz on piano, joined by either Rich Schwarz or Chad Seymour on vocals and guitar, creating a rich, distinctive sound that audiences of all ages enjoy.

For larger events or when requested, drums can be added to create an even fuller and more dynamic performance experience.

Whether performing as a duo or trio, Smooth Groove delivers memorable entertainment with the perfect balance of nostalgia, energy, and musical excellence.

  We can help make your brunches, happy hours, dinner parties, receptions, and resident events a memorable success. Whether you're looking for engaging entertainment that gets guests singing along and tapping their feet, or simply elegant background music to create the perfect ambiance, Smooth Groove can tailor our performance to complement any occasion. 

 We dress appropriately for every occasion and are always mindful of volume. Our performances are presented at a comfortable sound level that is enjoyable for listeners while remaining non-intrusive to conversation. Whether guests are dining, socializing, or simply relaxing, our music enhances the atmosphere without overpowering it. 

 Over the years, we have had the pleasure of performing for numerous private events, senior communities and centers, as well as many well-known venues throughout the region, including Boordy Vineyards, DeJon Vineyard, Brown’s Orchards, Swan Harbor Farm, Steppingstone Farm Museum, The Maryland Club, and the Olde Philadelphia Inn (OPI), among many others. 

 We also offer a special Roaring ’20s-themed performance, featuring popular songs from the Jazz Age that are perfect for 100th Birthday and Centenarian Celebrations. This nostalgic program brings back cherished memories and creates a fun, engaging atmosphere for guests of all ages.
