Bio

For the last 19 years, Gantzer and Groover have been entertaining audiences of all ages around Virginia, Maryland and Washington, DC. Performing music from all styles including Rock, Country, Folk, and "The Islands", they have a style that will blend in with almost any occasion and gathering.

Chris Gantzer and Russ Groover met in the Spring of 1989 when Russ's band, The WERMs, played a "battle of the bands," of which Chris was one of the judges. Shortly there after, Chris and his band, Laughing Sam's Dice, invited the WERMs to open for them on several occasions. In January of 1990, both bands split up into many different directions leaving Chris and Russ with nothing to do. By February of 1990, "The Gantzer Groover Show" was born and have been entertaining audiences ever since.
