Jazz Vespers with Garnetta Cromwell and DaGroovmasters

  • Hope United Church 2550 Danforth Avenue Toronto, ON, M4C 1L2 Canada (map)

Garnetta’s story begins in Montreal Canada, a bilingual, Afro-Metis Canadian girl, a musical daughter of a sophisticated strong woman, and the youngest of six other talented girls. Watching her mother (Miss Marva Ann) use music to survive, thrive, heal, and grow, Garnetta used music for the same purpose. As a child, Garnetta had a hearing impairment making her temporarily deaf that required surgical treatment to repair.

Loving music gave her the lead to survive, the determination to thrive, the peace to heal and a reason to grow. Garnetta and Dagroovmasters, based out of Hamilton, Ontario, is a high energy show band, that plays and sings the genres of Blues, Classic Soul and Funk. They are also a reflection of Canada's multicultural society!

They have been playing music together for approximately one and a half years. Once the pandemic allowed for live entertainment to re-enter into everyone’s life, Garnetta and Dagroovmasters became a strong emerging show band and a force to be reckoned with.

Garnetta and Dagroovmasters features Garnetta Cromwell on vocals, Mark Howe on bass, Toshihiro Otani on guitar, Juan Arce Manuel on saxophone and Robin Houston on drums.
