About
Vulfpeck In Concert
The Los Angeles–based collective known for wild, freeform creativity builds off a foundation of classic funk and soul à la the Meters, the Funk Brothers, and Booker T. & the M.G.'s, then incorporates mellow R&B-inflected pop of ‘70s superstars like the Bee Gees, the Doobie Brothers, and Steely Dan. Most importantly, Vulfpeck's millennial constituents — drummer/keyboardist/singer Jack Stratton, guitarist/drummer/singer Theo Katzman, bassist Joe Dart, and keyboardist Woody Goss — infuse the band's vintage touchstones with unbridled energy and mind-bending musicianship. Performances elevate their every note into a celebration of groove music in all its forms. Vulfpeck concerts are typically showcases of raw talent, dance-friendly jams, and songs to sing along to. The number of onstage band members ebbs and flows, soloing, dueting, trading instruments, bantering with one another, and inviting guests to sit in. They often stretch out to five, six, or seven musicians while unspooling exploratory flights of improvisation or digging into whip-tight, hard-hitting songs.
Vulfpeck Background
The Vulfpeck story began at the University of Michigan in the early '10s, when the four founders came together to perform as a live rhythm section for an on-campus concert. Jack Stratton, a musicologist as well as performer, modeled the band's aesthetic after the great unsung backing bands of famous recording studios, including Motown, Stax, and Muscle Shoals. After graduation the core quartet moved to L.A. as a group and worked their way into the city's creative community, bringing along collaborators such as featured vocalist Antwaun Stanley and guitarist Cory Wong. They released EPs and albums on their own Vulf Records, growing their fame entirely via killer recordings and word of mouth about their live shows (as well as one attention-grabbing stunt that gamed Spotify's accounting system). In a short time, they've gained fan bases across Europe and the U.S. — big enough that 2019 sees them playing two of America's grandest concert venues: Red Rocks in May, and Madison Square Garden in September. Young though they are, the Vulfpeck phenomenon is just getting started.

by bzy on 10/1/19Madison Square Garden - New YorkEverything went smoothly finding my way to GA. Plenty of space in GA to watch closely or from afar. Bathrooms were clean. Drink lines didn’t take longer than 10 minutes because there were a lot of options at the Delta Skyclub.

by Steve on 10/1/19Madison Square Garden - New YorkVulfpeck and the Fearless Flyers. What else is there to say? Best bands on the planet, and what a night to remember. Incredible show that was stacked with sing alongs, grooves, and dancing like a funky duck all night.

by Fearless on 10/1/19Madison Square Garden - New YorkFearless flyers were deadly stripped down funk. Constant streams of 16th notes and a wicked groove. Vulfpeck was great too

by Frank on 10/1/19Madison Square Garden - New YorkVulfpeck puts on an amazing show every time! So glad I could catch them at the Garden for the show of a lifetime. Unfortunately the sound cut out during one of the last songs which kinda sucked :(

by rdavenice on 7/17/19Greek Theatre - Los AngelesThese LA-based musical virtuosos delivered in full force at their show. From opening with sax/keyboardist Joey Dosik doing tracks off his critically acclaimed album as a mere opener, to cycling through all the great lead singers in the group throughout the show, they constantly kept your attention and reminded you why seeing a concert with true musicians is different than just a singer wandering around stage.

Rating: 5 out of 5 Magical
by Aimes on 7/17/19Greek Theatre - Los AngelesThis night was TOPS, well worth it to be up close where the crowd was standing and dancing the whole night. Vulfpeck gave their all, easily one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. The only problem we had that night was with the staff, this tiny blonde woman physically blocked us with her body as we were walking back to our seats asking for tickets. She took forever to check them and gave us attitude, they need to lighten up.

by Fifusweater on 7/17/19Greek Theatre - Los AngelesVulfpeck are an amazing phenomenon - a bunch of white dudes who manage to jam some tight, funky grooves interjected by moments of joyful expressions of silliness. Their excitement is contagious and very entertaining - unlike any show I’ve been to before.
Rating: 5 out of 5 12/5 stars
by E. on 7/17/19Greek Theatre - Los AngelesAlways the best show. The members of the band are each individually so talented and have mastered various instruments on stage so they switch around during the show. They are funny, fun, happy, genuine, and of course musically gifted... everything you want at a live show. They also bring out guests often times.
