Mica's Groove Train Packs The Strange Brew Tavern 2/11/12

Picture Courtesy of Yamica Peterson New England based band Mica’s Groove Train packed the Strange Brew Tavern on Saturday night.  The crowd was filled with smiling faces, hoppy effervescence, and good mojo.  The band put on a rousing performance, combining slick pulsed beats with soulful laments.  Lead singer Yamica Peterson sang straight from her heart, revealing her vocal power as an undeniable assimilation of her natural gift.  She underscores talent . Behind the voice was her subtly understated band.  They were all masterful, yet not overpowering the vocals.  It was evident that the band members share a good rapport, as the music was intelligent and intuitive.  I asked a friend who was at the show to describe the band’s sound, and she stated, “It’s as if their music gives you your own personal space to experience the message as the songs envelop you.”  I could not have said it better myself, and pondered if that is the definition of groove.  Sprouting buds of groove,
