Funky Dawgz are one of the premier touring acts on the live music scene today. It is impossible not to enjoy yourself during a show as they play a contagious upbeat mix of original music, hip hop, funk, and today’s top hits with a brass twist.
Emerging from Connecticut, the Funky Dawgz have toured nationally and internationally. From playing sold out shows at Madison Square Garden as the horn section for Dispatch, to closing out The Peach Music Festival, their performances flow seamlessly across all genres. They were also recently featured at the world famous Blue Note NYC with TAUK & Kanika Moore. They've appeared multiple times on national televised programming for ESPN (house band for March Madness Tournament Challenge, opening segment of First Take) as well as on the Hulu and FX hit series "Fargo" starring Chris Rock.
The Funky Dawgz are dropping jaws. These high energy horns have been featured with Dispatch, Tower of Power, Robert Randolph, The Rascals, Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue, Galactic, Sammy Rae & The Friends, Lawrence, Vulfpeck, We The Kings, Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, Snarky Puppy, Lettuce, Preservation Hall Jazz Band, and the list goes on.
When the band is not playing shows they are giving back to the community. The Funky Dawgz aim to connect, engage, inspire and rejuvenate music education in inner city schools across the country. The band frequently gives performances and master classes to young musicians in elementary, middle, and high schools across the region.
