The Grouper Cheeks is a Florida-based rock band who were working towards their first gig in March 2020 as a cover band until the pandemic suspended their live performance plans. In an unintended pivot, they starting producing original music. Unlike most bands, The Grouper Cheeks include their recording engineers in their publicized line-up. The ten-member lineup includes Leslie Brathwaite (GRAMMY-winning mix engineer whose credits include Jay-Z, Beyoncé, Ariana Grande, Cardi B and more), Jason Capobianco (guitar, vocals), Craig Daily (guitar), Brad Floyd (multiple instruments, engineer, vocals), David Franko (percussion, sax, vocals), Kenny Goldstone (lead vocals, guitar), Mike Orlowski (engineer), Matthew Pengra (keyboards), Shawn Rinehart (drums, vocals), and Brad Thompson (bass). All of the members met as either alumni or co-workers at Full Sail University in Winter Park, Florida.
