Sophistafunk

In January 2015, the band SOPHISTAFUNK will be headed back to California with additional stops in Colorado (Feb 5th in Boulder - 9pm - free show), Las Vegas, and the Jimmy John's Super Bowl Party in Tempe, AZ. They will also be performing at TV celebrity Guy Fieri's birthday party for the third consecutive year.
 
Sophistafunk is excited to announce their ‘Cuse-to-Cali’ Winter Tour! The band will be kicking it off right with a huge New Years Eve show at Landmark Theatre in their hometown of Syracuse, NY. They’ll then make some stops in the midwest before heading to Colorado for a long-awaited 3-day run, playing at Hodi’s Half Note in Fort Collins, The Bluebird Theater in Denver and Three20South in Breckenridge.

Freedom Is, written and recorded by Sophistafunk and produced by Jocko Randall at MoreSound Studios in Syracuse, NY, is driven by contrasting tones and texture, recreating the experience of being at one of the band's electrifying live shows. Instantly pulsing from powerful to smooth, the sound is raw, authentic and groovy. The music reflects the bands deep commitment to vintage keys, analog synth and scorching solos which are anchored by deep-pocket hip hop drums and fat funky bass lines.

Starting off Summer 2013 by playing at the International Home and Housewares Convention in Chicago, specially invited by celebrity chef Guy Fieri, Sophistafunk kept the fire roaring all summer long, packing venues and festivals both nationally and internationally.
