David Grover spent many years as Arlo Guthrie’s lead guitar and band leader playing for adults, but it wasn’t until he had a daughter that he found his true calling, playing for children and families.
Grover’s Gang consists of David Grover on guitar & vocals, Kathy Jo Grover on bass & vocals, Charlie Tokarz on saxophones and woodwinds and Joe Torra on Keyboard. David Grover and Grover’s Gang have performed at the White House, opened the Goodwill Games, appeared on The Today Show and performed with the Detroit Symphony for their Youth Series. They have recently played for the delegates of the United Nations who gleefully did the hand motions of Turn the World Around at the kickoff of International Year of Clean Water.
With nearly twenty albums under his belt, David Grover, called, “The Jerry Garcia of the Elementary School set,” has been compared to MR. Rogers, Paul Simon, James Taylor and Raffi, earning countless awards including a Grammy nomination and Artist of the Year. Grover’s music delivers a positive and timeless message, making him irresistible across the generations.
The musicians in Grover’s Gang are not only incredibly talented; they are also extraordinary human beings. Children and families of all walks of life enjoy Grover’s music. In turn, David considers them his friends and they serve as testament to his ongoing commitment to making quality music accessible to all children.
What better way to celebrate the holidays than with music and family?
