Known for their unique sound and live shows packed with passion and energy,
Sophistafunk is a positive blend of funk, hip-hop, and dance music. Their presence is powerful, their lyrics are cutting edge and their beats are heavy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After nearly ten years on the road, Sophistafunk has found a unique home on the national circuit, connecting with audiences spanning from electronic to jazz, reggae, and jam bands. The band features singer Adam Gold, who plays four keyboards at once, soulful drummer\/vocalist Emanuel Washington and captivating front-man Jack Brown. The group recently welcomed its
newest member, saxophonist Tommy Weeks of the Funky Dawgz Brass Band. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From their base in Syracuse, these four musicians specialize in creating the ultimate multi-genre festival experience.
Powered by the release of four albums, Sophistafunk has toured from coast to coast since 2012, with frequent stops along the way in places like New York, Boston, New Orleans, Denver, San Francisco, and Seattle. Their festival resume includes Camp Bisco 2017, GrassRoots (five years running), as well as legendary locations such as Horning\u2019s Hideout in Oregon and Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park in Florida. The band has also toured the UK multiple times,
performing to over 50,000 attendees at the giant international festivals BoomTown and Shambala.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At every show, the band puts their freakish improvisational skills on full display, often collaborating with a wide array of musical guests \u2013 from the late Bernie Worrell to drummers Tommy Lee of Motley Crue and Nikki Glaspie of Nth Power\/Beyonce. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
