JOHN OLIVER AND THE INCOMING GROOVE BAND
DRIVING. GRITTY. SOULFUL. BLUES
John Oliver and the Incoming Groove Band—a driving, gritty, and soulful blend of Chicago electric blues, rock and funk had its roots in Chicago with founder and lead vocal/guitarist John Oliver. Over the years, Incoming Groove has attracted talented and seasoned musicians who excel in the freedom and improvisational style of blues music. Now John has brought the same Incoming Groove blues tradition to the Colorado music scene. From the stellar vocals, the grooving drum and bass-line, the soulful keyboards, to the signature guitar solos – their love for the blues is contagious!
The band’s sound and blues influences are drawn from famous artists such as: Johnny Winters, Coco Montoya, Muddy Waters, Freddie King, BB King, Allman Brothers, Govt Mule, Eric Clapton, Robert Cray, Joe Bonamassa, John Mayer, as well as soulful artists from the Motown label.

"As a musician for over 30 years and having had the pleasure of hiring over 100 acts for the Loveland Downtown Association for the last two seasons I have listened to and worked with a large number of bands .
Incoming Groove is a pleasure to work with I’ve hired them a number of times and they never disappoint. They bring a show with a wide variety of music preformed by top caliber musicians. They have music in their sets for everyone in the crowd to enjoy and dance to . Their individual musicianship is superb. Great guitar work and vocals from John and a supporting cast of seasoned pros to make every song uniquely their own.
In addition I’ve not run into a band easier to work with. They are professional and do what they say they will when they say they will do it. I wish all bands carried themselves like Incoming Groove.
You will not be disappointed hiring this band whether its for a small party or large outdoor venue they will bring the goods. Please feel free to contact me personally for more information on this great band."
