CINCINNATI, Ohio – March 6, 2008 – Cincinnati based FMG Entertainment is set to introduce its inaugural music festival, NatiGroove by taking over the historic Southgate House located in Newport KY on Saturday March, 22 2008. Musical acts will be booked throughout the eclectic, multi-room venue with artists playing downstairs in the Ballroom and in the more intimate Parlour upstairs.

NatiGroove will feature a diverse collection of some of the best regional artists with two popular local artists headlining the event. Local jamgrass heroes Rumpke Mountain Boys and the innovate, style-mashing band Eclipse will headline the event.

“FMG Entertainment is proud to offer such a powerful lineup of artists for our inaugural NatiGroove event.” Said Frank Meyer, Managing Partner, FMG Entertainment. “Our intent was to offer something for everyone with a diverse mix of artists and genres as well as multiple settings for music lovers to enjoy them. So, the Southgate was a natural fit.” The festival will begin at 9:00pm as national DJ Rare Groove kicks things off in Ballroom. The eclectic and soulful band Sexual Disaster will follow along the first headliner, Eclipse. Rumpke Mountain Boys will close the event. The lineup of artists is as follows:

DJ RARE GROOVE - Known as the Blueprint’s touring DJ, don’t miss Rare Groove as he brings his 1988 beats and Blueprint flavor to spin fire back in the Nati just before he kicks off his North American tour with Atmosphere and Abstract Rude. 9:00pm – 9:45pm & in between all sets. Downstairs in the Ballroom.

SEXUAL DISASTER QUARTET - Is sex good…disaster bad… or what?

Downstairs in the Ballroom.

ECLIPSE - Those high-energy musical innovators Eclipse are back with their style-mashin grooves. With influences ranging from Led Zeppelin to Ozomatli and Herbie Hancock, Eclipse continuously pushes musical boundaries by incorporating elements of rock, funk, latin, jazz & hip-hop into a tight and complex sound. 11:00pm – 12:15am.
