In St. Louis, it’s common practice for bands to merge together and form new acts. The Grooveliner is no different. The nine-piece, powerfunk band — founded by Toby Mechem and Matt Vianello— released their latest album “Live From Your Mom’s House” earlier this year. The tongue-in-cheek title highlights the band’s sense of humor and the music exemplifies their immense talent and collaboration. Mechem and Vianello share the band's journey, wittiness, and pursuit finding the perfect voice to compliment their sound.
