SUMMARY:Start Making Sense: Talking Heads Tribute w/ Groove Merchants at As
 sembly - Kingston\, NY
DESCRIPTION:https://www.tixr.com/groups/assembly/events/start-making-sense-
 talking-heads-tribute-192776\n\nSTART MAKING SENSE: TALKING HEADS TRIBUTE\
 nThe music of Talking Heads has excited\, inspired\, and healed folks worl
 dwide since their first show at CBGB’s in 1975.If David Byrne is one of 
 the geniuses of modern times\, then Start Making Sense is a tribute to gen
 ius. The musicians in this seven-piece band celebrate the entire Talking H
 eads’ catalog\, meticulously executing the sounds and iconic live visual
  elements in every performance\, bringing so much of the Heads unique live
  show that you know and love to the stage.\n\nTHE GROOVE MERCHANTS\n\nThe
  Groove Merchants are here to throw down and break out. Founded in 2012\
 , out of the practice rooms and Main Street basements of Kutztown Universi
 ty in Pennsylvania\, by lead vocalist Tye Vallone\, lead guitarist Luke Fe
 rracone\, and bassist John Evin Groome\, the band discovered their chemist
 ry almost instantly. Twisting in elements of blues\, funk and soul resulti
 ng in a revival of authentic performance\, The Groove Merchants have bee
 n pushing that sound forward ever since.\n\nThe group now boasts a driving
  9-piece lineup\, ideal for larger stages\, featuring Josh Maskornick on d
 rums\, Mike Talento on Tenor Sax\, Jimmy Boyle on Trumpet\, John Bickel on
  Hammond Organ\, and Brie Parry &amp\; Jenny Founds on backing vocals. Thi
 s full-bodied\, energetic\, and soulful sound can be heard on the Groove 
 Merchants’ 2023 release\, “Real Estate\,” produced by Grammy-winner 
 Phil Joly and mastered by Colin Bryson out of The Bunker/Electric Lady Stu
 dios in NYC\, the song has received major airplay on WXPN Philadelphia and
  NPR affiliate WDIY in Bethlehem. New music is planned for release in late
  2026.
