Hailing from Norwalk, Connecticut, Residual Groove has quickly earned a reputation for marrying high-octane jam-rock energy with disciplined musicianship. Founded by brothers Kiran Edwards (keys / vocals) and Previn Edwards (guitar / vocals), the quintet now features the melodic low-end wizardry of Ryan Berry on bass, alongside the explosive Henry Thomas (drums) and percussive ace Garrett Halstead. Ryan’s arrival in 2025 has deepened the band’s pocket and opened new improvisational avenues, adding a fresh, muscular dimension to their sound.   Residual Groove’s 2024 debut album In Dream Time drew praise from peers and tastemakers across the jam scene for its forward-thinking arrangements and fearless sonic exploration. Members of Goose, Eggy, and Neighbor have publicly lauded the record’s inventive blend of kaleidoscopic keyboards, searing guitar lines, and airtight rhythm work.   Onstage, the band treats every composition as a launchpad, spinning structured songs into adventurous yet purposeful improvisations that keep crowds guessing—and dancing. That chemistry has landed them support slots with scene heavyweights Andy Frasco, Dogs in a Pile, Karina Rykman, Vasudo, Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, Melt, and more. Each performance reaffirms Residual Groove’s knack for turning a set list into a narrative journey, seamlessly weaving one musical chapter into the next.   With a reinforced lineup, an acclaimed debut under their belt, and a relentless drive to push the boundaries of modern jam-rock, Residual Groove is staking their claim as one of the Northeast’s most compelling live acts—one ecstatic, exploratory show at a time.
