about

The Lyrical Groove released their debut album Spoken Soul: Music for Life on February 6, 2015 at the House of Blues San Diego, Ca. The Lyrical Groove was formed under the motivation of spoken word artist, Kendrick Dial, to have live music accompany his performance poetry and it turned into so much more. The pursuit of collaboration then began with Louisiana born friend and drummer, Glenn “GK” Sanders and Memphis native keyboardist, Mike Smith. The group officially formed in November 2010, after a gig at the Ruby Room in San Diego, Ca. An overwhelming, affirming crowd response cemented in the group’s minds what their hearts were warming up to. In July 2011, Bay area guitarist, Mike “Token” Benedetto joined, followed by Jacob Miranda on bass and their ultra-talented vocalist Brisa Lauren in 2012.

The Lyrical Groove is an award-winning band that combines spoken word and live instrumentation, cohesively crafted to inspire and entertain. Blending a musical style that balances elements of Spoken Word, Jazz, Hip Hop, Blues, R&B, Gospel and Soul, The Lyrical Groove (LG) infuse a potent message with social consciousness and a spiritual awareness that sings to your humanity and moves your soul. In 2014, LG won a San Diego Music award for Best Hip Hop/Soul Artist Album and 2013 they won a SDMA for Best Hip Hop/Soul artist.
