 It was anything but "The Thrill is Gone" for Groove Addicts composers and Executive Producer/Owner Dain Blair when they were chosen by San Francisco agency, Anderson DDB, to create two commercials and three songs to be performed by BB King this spring. The spots and songs, for client OneTouch Ultra Blood Glucose Monitoring Systems, were written and co-performed by Groove Addicts composer/guitarists Carl Verheyen (Supertramp) and Bruce Watson (guitarist for Rod Stewart, David Bowie, Stewart Copeland/Police and Christina Aguilera.) King was a natural for the spots, which feature the immortal bluesman, himself a diabetic, belting out the tunes in a cafe. "BB is a gracious, genuine nice guy whose persona fills up the room," says Blair. "Our recording session with him at Clinton Studios in New York City was... magical."

Technology has revolutionized the way Groove Addicts delivers music. Cranked up access and ease of use has been achieved through the internet and an enhanced website. A customizable music project area allows users to search, sample and download music plus create project folders, make notes, report use, and email music links to associates. An online archive makes it simple to share, reference and manage jobs 24/7. GA has recently licensed music to CSI Miami and trailers for Cat Woman, Shrek 2 and The Chronicles of Riddick, among many others.

Sinclair Broadcast Group's 63 stations and Rogers Television's 31 stations in Canada licensed the Groove Addicts music library. Groove Addicts' new Olympic and Election music are now available on a "pay as you play" basis.
