How did the groovement start?/ Who started the groovement?

The groovement started with two friends who share a passion for live music. To keep track of the shows they wanted to go to, they created a shared doc where they tracked upcoming shows. They added their friends to the doc, who added their friends, who added their friends, and pretty soon, a crew of concert lovers across nyc was using the doc to find shows and cool people to go with. While live music was on pause during 2020, we took feedback from the community and launched thegroovement.nyc in 2021, a new platform for all lovers of live music.
