Atomic Groove

Please join us in wishing a very happy birthday to the incredibly talented and vivacious percussionist/conga player Monette Marino!

Monette has been a frequent addition to our AG guest line up on & off for about 20 years -we've all lost track exactly how long it has been at this point!! Her long-time participation with us is treasured and so appreciated over the years. Her skills and good-natured vibe has always complimented and augmented the AG vibe so wonderfully. Not to mention her beautiful smile, too! We love ya, Mo!

Come wish her a belated happy birthday this Friday, June 19th at the Belly Up for our Atomic Groove "Hello Summer/CAF Benefit" Dance Party Happy Hour at the Belly Up, 5-8p.

And see Monette jump on the drum set for a song, too, further showcasing her amazing gift of rhythm!!!

Please join us in wishing a very HAPPY birthday to our amazing keyboardist and Musical Director Rob Gironda!

Rob has been an original member of AG since 1995 and his musical prowess, keyboard skills, singing abilities and show directiorship helps AG stay on track, flourish and shine. That makes us all SO HAPPY!

He is HAPPIEST when he is behind his keyboard doing what he loves to do, and we love him for all that he brings to contribute to the AG magic for these 30+ years. We love ya, Rob!

Come wish him HAPPY birthday tomorrow at the Belly Up for Atomic Groove's "Summer Happy Place" Dance Party Happy Hour at the Belly Up, 5-8p. He'll be so HAPPY to see you!🙂

WOWWOWWOW!

Fiesta del Sol 2026 this past Saturday was absolutely incredible!

Thank you to all the familiar friendly faces who came out to enjoy the 45th Annual FDS, as well as our own 30 year Atomic Groove/FDS-versary, our first one was in 1996!

Not only was the crowd amazing, the energy exchange was big and the vibez super high... but the SUN ("SOL") was actually out, for the first time in about 10 years for FDS.☀️

We're taking that as a sign that everything really IS gonna be alright.... we have such a good feelin' about that!
