Handmade Groove was formed after Hugh's daughter, Rachel, insisted that he respond to a "musician wanted" ad posted by David. The two became instant friends despite David's demanding and aggressive nature. Handmade Groove enjoys a rigorous performance schedule of parking lot scenes, open mic appearances, private engagements and benefit shows.

Record Label: Soprannah
Label Type: Independent
Band Members: Hugh McCrystal David Harris
Influences: Far too many to name.
Sounds Like: We play a lot of covers, mostly psychedelic rock and music from the 1960's. We use our favorite songs as a departure point for original, spontaneous and improvised jams.
Country: United States

Thank you for being an inspiration! I've been learning a lot of Phish on acoustic lately and you guys have helped me a bunch.

One song that I find is really, really awesome is Slave to the Traffic Light. You should definitely check it out (I'm sure you have already though)

keep on jammin

Hey thanks. It's nice seeing two guys like me - Phish fans and acoustic guitar players - using our medium in a classy way. Keep it up. For the record, I had no idea YEM could be such a relaxing tune.
