Details:
Gabriel's Groove fuses jazz rhythms, funk riffs, and a distinct folk sensibility into a sound that is truly genre-defying. The band is reputed throughout Fairfield County for its live performances; technical prowess is married to unbridled intensity for an unforgettable concert experience.

The members of Gabriel's Groove are:

Alexis Babini - guitar, vocals, occasional piano, dulcimer, and banjo

Alexis writes all the songs for the band and then through somewhat of a process of evolution the songs form into band originals. Alexis often does solo shows on the guitar and performs his songs acoustic. The last show he did was at the Green Room in Fairfield. Other artists that played at that show were Larissa DeLorenzo, a dynamic folk singer, and Feel Theory, a well known jamband act that hosts open jam at the acoustic café.

Ryan Whiteaker - guitar, vocals

Ryan and Alexis make up the base of Gabriel's Groove and were the starting members. Ryan leads the music program for a youth group organization called Young Life on their weekend trips. He has also played in the band "The Gathering" featuring Jon Rogers.
