About / Biography

Undercover Groove are a versatile live covers band bringing energy, personality and a great mix of well-loved songs to every event. Based in the West Midlands, we perform at weddings, parties, private events, venues and celebrations, with two line-up options to suit different spaces, budgets and atmospheres.

Our acoustic trio offers a more stripped-back sound without losing the energy of a full band. We cover a mix of soul, pop and rock, making it ideal for drinks receptions, relaxed events, smaller venues and occasions where you want great live music without overpowering the room. We can keep things chilled and atmospheric or turn up the energy with plenty of familiar songs and singalong moments.

For a bigger party atmosphere, our full 4-piece brings a lively, dancefloor-focused set spanning everything from 70s soul and funk to 80s and 90s rock, right through to 00s pop and modern favourites. Our repertoire is built around songs people know and love, with plenty of opportunities to get involved and sing along.

Whatever the occasion, we pride ourselves on being adaptable, professional and easy to work with. We tailor our performance to the event and the atmosphere you want to create, while providing a reliable, seamless live music experience from set-up to the final song.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever played at?

Between us, we’ve performed at some fantastic live events and festival stages, including Planet Rock Winter’s End, the main stage at Upton Blues Festival and Lakefest Festival, as well as performing on a BBC Introducing stage at HowTheLightGetsIn. We’ve played a wide range of venues and events across the UK, from festivals and outdoor events to live venues, private functions and larger events.

Some of our favourite performances have been the festival shows, where there’s a brilliant atmosphere and a really engaged crowd.


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

We all have a shared love for Michael Jackson and his iconic grooves. His songs are always a guaranteed good time!


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

We all come from strong musical backgrounds, with experience across live performance, songwriting, session work, teaching and a range of musical projects.

Dulcie and Brandon met studying at BIMM Birmingham, where they completed degrees in Songwriting and Professional Musicianship (Guitar). They performed together at university before pursuing their own projects, with Dulcie also releasing solo music, gaining Spotify editorial playlist placements and performing on a BBC Introducing stage at HowTheLightGetsIn.

Nick is an experienced drummer and session musician, with performances including Planet Rock Winter’s End, Upton Blues Festival and Lakefest. Brandon also teaches music in secondary schools.

Our experience eventually brought us together through the cover-band circuit, and we’ve been gigging together ever since. Between us, we have years of experience performing live and working across different musical projects, venues and audiences.


What's your favourite type of event to play at?

We love playing lively, social events where there’s a great atmosphere and plenty of opportunity to get the crowd involved. Parties, Christmas events, outdoor events and busy live venues are particularly suited to us. We enjoy reading the room, keeping the energy high and playing a varied set that gets people singing, dancing and having a genuinely good time.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

We normally arrive between 1-2 hrs before the performance to set up (depending on lineup). Our typical sets are 2 x 45 minutes or 3 x 30 minute sets.


Are you happy to perform outside?

We are happy to perform outside and have done for many events, as long as we have access to a power supply, shade and a flat level surface.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

We primarily perform from our established repertoire, with our setlists selected to suit the event and keep the energy flowing. For private events, parties and weddings, clients can request a limited number of specific songs in advance, subject to availability and an additional fee where applicable. This allows us to tailor the set to the event while ensuring the majority of the performance is made up of songs we know and perform regularly.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Energetic, fun and engaging. We bring a youthful energy to every performance and love getting people involved, singing along and dancing. We pride ourselves on creating a lively atmosphere and responding to the energy of the room, with the main goal of making sure everyone has a great time.
