About J Santi and the Vital GrooveJ Santi and the Vital Groove are a dynamic trio that merges the soulful intensity of Stevie Ray Vaughan with the desert rock swagger of Queens of the Stone Age and the singer/songwriter prowess of Tom Petty. Fronted by guitarist and vocalist J Santi, with Chris Sussman on bass and Marcus James on drums, they create a powerful sound characterized by fiery blues solos, heavy grooves, and hypnotic riffs. Known for their electrifying performances, J Santi and The Vital Groove bring a fresh edge to blues rock, captivating audiences with their raw energy and modern flair.
