EGi (Ethereal Groove Inc.) is a band from Northwest Chicagoland known for tight, catchy songwriting and exploratory instrumental improvisations. The quartet utilizes multi-layered beats, precise and thumping bass, and searing, yet atmospheric guitar harmonies to create flowing and eclectic music that has been delighting audiences across the country for over 10 years. With a heavy focus on originality, the band curates completely fresh sets every show to take the dance floor on a ride from a pulsating, hypnotic trance to all out head banging.
Melding these jamscapes with fun, funky songwriting and lyrics that range from contemplative and aware, to tongue-in-cheek goofiness has been EGi’s signature formula over the last decade. Utilizing multiple lead vocalists and a diverse background of influences and experiences between the members, the band constantly expands the boundaries, both stylistically and sonically, of what a quartet of 2 guitars, bass, and drums can create.
