Oliver Doering is the initiator and bandleader of "Groove Poodle".

The band's repertoire consists of self-composed groovy songs, performed with high energy and soul. The music is a mix of dance beats and club sounds with elements of Soul, Blues and Jazz.

On his most recent CD, Oliver plays a wide variety of guitar sounds, including smooth jazz guitar, funky electrical and bluesy semi-acoustic guitar.

Oliver Doering loves his Vintage Gibson Guitars and created a very distinct sound with his 1969 ES-150, a special stoptail conversion with an interesting combination of pickups..

A big Wes Montgomery and George Benson fan, he studied jazz guitar in Arnhem, Holland from 1989 to 1994. Over the years he played in many bands and projects: Zwiebop, Tribehouse and Doña Guarapita, to mention a few.

With his American wife he started a cultural center, art olive, located in a former warehouse space in Cologne, Germany. The center contains music schools, over 100 rehearsal rooms, and a small club that organizes the monthly Soul and Jazz jam session: Orange Sunday.

Oliver lives in Oakland (California) and Cologne (Germany).
