I was lucky enough to get ahold of an autographed copy of Reachin' (thanks FGC!) and after my first listen, I've become quite fond of it.

Family Groove Company is definitely a band on the rise. They have a sound unique to that of most run-of-the-mill jambands. Their live shows are what you really want to see, but Reachin' provides a nice alternative look at FGC's sound.

As I began listening, the first two songs, "Agenda" and "Just Like I Planned" really jumped out at me. They have such a joyous, euphoric sound that you can't help but smile. The album continues on with some nice tunes, before reaching a number of my favorites. Track 7, "One's On the Way" showcases FGC's jamming chops, and the following tunes, "Interesting Changes" and "Seein'" have really incredible vocals.

I highly reccomend purchasing both "Reachin'" and a concert ticket to the next Family Groove Company show near you!

This CD is Jumpin'!!! I've heard so many Jam Bands lately that all sound the same, but Family Groove Company's vibe is so different. Each song has it's own unique characteristics, and they're all really catchy too. FGC goes everywhere from rockin' , to bluesy, to jazz, and there's even a ballad, but every song has a truly deep groove to it. It is a FUNKY record! If you are interested in a fresh new sound to get down to, Reachin' is the answer.
From a loyal fan for life, Thanks.

I have been looking for a band like Family Groove Company for my entire life! There jazz harmonic ideas encounter thick grooves, and the bands improvisational/"jam" talent is by far best done by FGP. I loved this disc because this bands not your average, boring, jam band. They are actually extremely talented and original! I would DEF. give this band & this album a huge chance. Also- I saw this band a week ago at Park West, OUTSTANDING!

if i had to buy any cd of this genre, reachin would be the cd to get. i am a friend and loyal fan of adam lewis, the kickin guitarist who has taught me everything i know on that instrument, adam is one of the most talented guitarists ive ever seen, move over hendrix!!!
