Recording with Latin pop phenomenon Jose Feliciano was all in a day's work for Groove Addicts pros, who traveled to the 275 year old barn at Feliciano's estate in Connecticut to lay down vocal and guitar tracks for a OneTouch Ultra Blood Glucose Monitoring Systems campaign. San Francisco, Calif. Agency Anderson DDB chose Groove Addicts once again to continue their strategy of using celebrities -- including Blues legend BB King in spots created last year -- to demonstrate how One Touch products make life easier for those suffering diabetes. "Jose was really accommodating - a consummate professional," says Groove Addicts Creative Director Dain Blair. "His extremely unique voice and instrumental style, combined with the way he nailed everything very quickly - made our jaws drop." Feliciano feels that the campaign is a good fit for him. "I believe in music, because it is the best healer of all wounds," Feliciano says.
An additional recording session for One Touch featuring Feliciano and BB King will take place later this year in Manhattan.

 Seeking a sound that would break through the clutter on Canadian television, Groove Addicts created a custom image campaign for Rogers Television's 31 stations. The package GA completed blew Rogers executive Ray Skaff away with its versatility. Says Groove Addicts' Dain Blair, "We were able to create a music package that could be tailored for different provinces of Canada. For example, Toronto's music was more urban, whereas the material used for rural areas was warmer and more acoustic." GA collaborated on the project with leading design firm V.D.O. out of Saint Petersburg, Florida. VDO's Dianne Streyer explains, "Rogers needed to revitalize its on-air look -- to freshen the graphics and reinforce "local matters," and in this case local means 31 stations across the entire country. Groove Addicts hit the mark with the initial musical logo and regional versions which knocked us out!"

When Chef Raul Cooks, Agencies Eat It Up
"Chef Raul is famous for his crab cakes and his amazing attitude," says Groove Addicts' Sharon Blair. Raul was discovered at a local Santa Monica Italian restaurant four years ago When the Blairs asked the owner/chef to cook for them for a special dinner at their home, he was unavailable, and sent his second chef, Raul. After cooking up a storm at the Blair's home, he became Groove Addicts' chef on call.
"Everyone loves to plan their sessions around lunch to partake in Chef Raul's creative cuisine," says Dain Blair. Recent clients who have sampled Raul's creations are Rory Phoenix of Anderson DDB-San Francisco, Lisa Von Drehle, Doug Behm and Canice Neary of Element79 in Chicago and Trish Bugitzedes and Michael Blaney of Direct Partners, Marina Del Rey.
