About
TURKUAZ IN CONCERT:
With a lineup of ten members and counting, New York funk orchestra Turkuaz is a force to behold on stage -- and that's before they've even started playing. Once the show begins, the band puts the full heft of their roster to incredible use, combining virtuosic musicianship, an arsenal of instruments, and wacky stagewear to deliver an off-the-wall concert experience that's as impressive for its sheer force as it is for the astonishing range of influences it displays. From the '80s-inspired bounce of "Coast to Coast" to the funky brass squelches and syncopated guitars of "Tired of Walking", Turkuaz take ticket buyers on a decade-spanning musical ride that keeps them moving and shaking till the very last note.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Turkuaz formed in Brooklyn in the late '00s and quickly took the NYC underground scene by storm with their everything-but-the-kitchen-sink funk sound and raucous live shows. After spending several years building a devoted fanbase with extensive regional touring, the band released their 2011 debut album Zerbert, a sizzling slice of eclectic tunes that took its cue from funk legends like Sly & The Family Stone and Parliament. To support the release they piled in a 15-person bus and set out on tour, shaking the walls at venues and festivals throughout the country. Several live albums and a covers album followed in 2012 and 2013, and in 2014 the band dropped their proper sophomore album Future 86. The record perfectly fused their disparate influences, combining funk, soul, R&B, and Latin elements to achieve a seriously party-worthy record. A legendary live act known for their energy, musical prowess, and sheer size, Turkuaz continue to let it all hang out with encore-worthy performances on tour.

Rating: 5 out of 5 Turkuaz Rocked the Paradise on 4/20/19!
by M. G. on 4/23/19Paradise Rock Club presented by Citizens Bank - BostonThere are few active nonet groups in the music scene. Turkuaz is one such band. All 9 members are consistently decked-out in their trademark colors, but the pleasing visual display only enhances the incredible talents of each and every member. Each performer had an opportunity to complete a solo at least once that night, and all brought the audience to a joyful spot with their musical talents. It is rare to experience the level of musical precision that Turkuaz bestows. Their timing is impeccable. It is easy to tell that they love performing together and although we attend perhaps 20 total concerts per year, the Turkuaz shows stand out because of their incredible level of FUN. I do not miss Turkuaz shows within 100 miles of my reach

Rating: 4 out of 5 Turkuaz and Spiritual Rez killed it
by julieeL on 4/13/15Paradise Rock Club - BostonI had never seen either of these bands before, but went on whim because a few of my friends had purchased tickets. Spiritual Rez was LITERALLY incredible, and I don't think any other opener would have gotten all of us as excited for the actual show. As soon as Turkuaz came on, though, one of my friends got kicked out. No one is really sure why.. he hadn't lost his temper and wasn't drunk or anything.. So that was a real bummer... but otherwise, the two bands killed it and we all had a great time!
