Group Therapy: A Year of Music, Movement, and Connection
​
Formed one year ago, Group Therapy made its debut at an art opening for mixed media artist D. Ray Bozic. The exhibit featured up-cycled musical instruments salvaged from the dumpster of Alpha Music Store—fitting inspiration for a band that finds harmony in transformation.
​
The songs selected for that first performance told stories of resilience, reflecting the journey of overcoming life’s conflicts and challenges. More than just meaningful, they were also irresistibly danceable. “It was the first time we had dancing at an opening,” remarked Mary Cole Deiz of the Greenbrier Valley Visitor Center, emphasizing the band's undeniable energy.
​
Group Therapy brings together musicians from diverse backgrounds, each seasoned in distinct styles—from the raw edge of San Francisco’s punk scene to the rich melodies of Appalachian mountain bluegrass, gospel, and contemporary Christian music. The founding lineup—Phillip Perry (bass), Steve Cooke (guitar), Ken Hawes (keyboards), and D. Ray Bozic (drums)—has since evolved, welcoming lead vocalist Amy McIntire to complete the ensemble.
​
For these musicians, playing well isn’t just a technical skill—it’s essential to feeling good. That infectious energy creates a ripple effect, sending good vibrations through the audience and inviting them to express that kinetic waveform through dance.
​
Creativity expands knowledge, deepens cultural awareness, and strengthens memory. Music has the power to move heartstrings and heal wounds in ways medicine cannot touch. Self-expression is therapy, and Group Therapy is here to inspire. A retro-rock, pop, and variety dance band, they deliver a sound that invites movement, connection, and joy.
