As a percussionist , Milton McGriff enjoys performing the captivating songs that motivate people to shuffle to the dance floor and groove to the sounds of bands such as Maze, Kool & the Gang, War and Santana.  Self-taught at the impressionable age of 16, Milton honed his skills through listening to and observing the great Latin congo masters of his day.

Music has always been my passion, all kinds… and being influenced by the “Beatles,” Temptations, Marvin Gaye, Smoky Robinson, Jr. Walker, Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson and the like…… I love it!! I still today have my first bass guitar a 1965 Hofner Beatle Violin Bass.  I am part of the 60’s Bay Area Garage Band experience. Entertaining and performing is an art that I respect and love.  It is fun and exciting to be in the Cali Groove Association Band.  I joined the band with the intention of being part of a team of other musical aficionados with the same like-mind to play music, have fun and perform for people instrumentally and vocally. We specialize in “Classic R &B/Soul/Funk” with Dance and Listening music of the best of the years that Rock and Roll, Rhythm & Blues & Soul Music has given the world… starting in the 50’s all the way to the Disco era and just beyond.

We want to play for you, so just say the word and we’ll be on your bandstand playing music that you can “Do theTwist, the Jerk and Mashed Potato too!  Any old dance that you want to do.”  Not to mention Do the Pony, The Bristol Stomp, The Swim, The Stroll, The Worm, The Bird and even the “Funky Chicken.”  Let’s just have fun!!  See ya on the dance floor!!
