Tonight’s free outdoor Groove on Grove concert will go on despite the rain, but it just won’t be outdoors. The show, which starts at 6 pm and features Plastiq Passion, Copesetic and Bern & the Brights, has been moved to Sawadee (137 Newark Ave.)
The kickoff of the free outdoor film series at Van Vorst Park will wait another week, as tonight’s screening of Sherlock Holmes has been rained out and moved to next Wednesday, June 16, at about 8:30 pm. Meanwhile, as we noted this morning, the Groove on Grove show scheduled for today at the Grove Street [...]
This Friday began early for me as I got out to check out Creative Grove, and see how the shops would set up with Groove on Grove’s special appearance for JC Fridays. I spent some time wandering around checking out the local art scene and the available wares. With items ranging from screen printed T-shirts to homemade organic cookies and lemonade, there was something for everyone. Around 6 pm the music started up, with four acts slated to go on.
Last Wednesday’s Groove on Grove Cinco de Mayo Fiesta started off strong, with the vendors serving up cheap eats and drinks. (Dancing) Tony Susco hosted the kickoff event, which is produced by the Jersey City Downtown Historic Special Improvement District (HDSID) and sponsored by a number of local businesses, including JCI. The crowd was in a festive mood and the turnout was one of the stronger I’ve seen for Groove on Grove.
The free outdoor music series known as Groove on Grove is coming back for its third year this summer; things kick off this week with a special Cinco de Mayo Fiesta featuring music from los Chispatores, the North Brunswick Winter Percussion Group, Rainbow Fresh and DJ Lucha, as well as food and drink from some [...]
Another Rainy Jersey City Friday: It seems the elements themselves conspire against us each time the Historic Downtown Special Improvement District throws an event, and the latest JC Fridays special Groove on Grove last Friday was no exception. But this is Jersey City, and there’s not much short of a flash flood that could stop [...]
Since JCI’s usual correspondent Zac Clark was MIA, I thought I’d pinch-hit and cover yesterday’s free Groove on Grove show with newcomers Ben Franklin and Jersey City alt-Americana favorites The Poconos.
It continually astounds me that these shows aren’t better attended, given that, yes, they’re free, right outside a major transportation hub, and impeccably booked. [...]

Wednesday, July 8, 2009: Admittedly, the story I’m about to tell you is bizarre and incredible. Those of you who wish to avoid being unsettled — who wish to avoid thinking — will label it fiction. Though you, the reader, may find these facts almost impossible to substantiate, that does not alter their inherent quality. [...]
I’m quite sold on the fact that the only reason weather exists is to screw up festival events and picnics. It’s definitely peak monsoon season here in Jersey City, and last Friday was no exception.
So as I crossed Grove Street in the rain to start my evening of rocking through JC Fridays, I made sure [...]
Word from the Historic Downtown Special Improvement District (HDSID) folks is that tonight’s special JC Fridays edition of Groove on Grove is a go even if this rain keeps up. They apparently have a tent, plus they’ve got booze to keep you warm.
It all starts at 6 pm, with the Black Hollies up first, followed [...]
