Formerly known as The Groove Cat, So What is a four-piece blues rock band that blends jazz and funk with a bit of swagger. Performing soulful originals, they keep their lyrical storytelling deep yet digestible. The dueling rifts from guitarists Nick Stenstrup and Kaleb Montgomery are anchored by a rhythm section composed of bassist John Zmyslony and drummer Brian Pfeifer. Their powerful foot-tapping arrangements are influenced by artists like Dawes, Lake Street Dive, Jaco Pastorius, Flea, Frank Zappa, and Buddy Rich. After their Homegrown debut was postponed in 2025, the band is eager to make a statement with their music this year.
