Catch the Groove Band will perform during a free concert May 8, 2021, at the Gamache-Koger Theater in downtown St. Augustine.

A large, diverse group of Jacksonville-based musicians, Catch the Groove Band offers the sounds of smooth jazz with Latin flair and a funky vibe.

Band member Ellis White formed the band in 2010 as a vocal-guitar-sax trio. Just two years later, the trio was joined by a trumpeter, percussionist and drummer.

Band members alternate as lead singer, and each member plays two musical instruments providing diversity of song choice and a variety of sounds.

The band's debut album "Smilin' in Paradise" was released in 2017. From the album, "Shaken Not Stirred" reached No. 17 on the Smooth Jazz Billboard Chart, and "When I See Your Smile" reached No. 1 on the Smooth Jazz Charts in the UK.

Admission: Free

When: 7:30 to 9 p.m. May 8, 2021

Where: Gamache-Koger Theatre is located at 50 Sevilla St. in downtown St. Augustine.
