Turkuaz Brings Special Guests For Funk-Filled Baker's Dozen Late-Night [Photos]

Last Tuesday night, nine-piece Brooklyn “power-funk” outfit Turkuaz brought their traveling dance party to New York City’s Irving Plaza for a late-night performance following Phish‘s “Jam-Filled” Baker’s Dozen performance at Madison Square Garden.

The band was joined by Allen Stone keyboardist and talk-box master Steveland Swatkins and Snarky Puppy percussionist Nate Werth (in addition to a guest sit-in from Snarky Puppy’s Mike ‘Maz’ Maher), combining to make up the funkiest late-night party anywhere in the City on Tuesday night. You can watch a pair of live videos from the performance below, courtesy of the band’s Facebook page:

You can also enjoy a gallery of photos from Turkuaz’s Baker’s Dozen Late-Night with Steveland Swatkins and Nate Werth below, courtesy of photographer Bahram Foroughi.

Next up for Turkuaz is a pair of performances at Floyd, VA’s Floyd Fest this Friday and Saturday. For a full list of upcoming Turkuaz dates, head to the band’s website.
