On Thursday, May 9th, Vulfpeck will headline Red Rocks Amphitheatre for the second year in a row. The bill is brilliantly completed with “Thai Funk” trio Khruangbin and the sensational soul of Cory Henry.
Vulfpeck has seen a quick rise to the top over the last few years, hitting some of the country’s most exciting music festivals and stages despite avoiding a traditional approach to touring. The Ann Arbor, MI-bred funk outfit experienced the majority of their early fame on the Internet in response to their clever music videos and unusual digital marketing. Since breaking into the international live music scene, the band—comprised of multi-instrumentalist Jack Stratton, bassist Joe Dart, keyboardist Woody Goss, and drummer/guitarist/vocalist Theo Katzman—has sold out headlining concerts worldwide, including almost all of their North American stops in 2017 and 2018, plus shows in Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam, Berlin, Glasgow, London, and Dublin. To call Vulfpeck a phenomenon is a huge understatement, as they’ve captured the respect and attention of most living funk lords today. Fans can also assume that regular touring members Cory Wong (guitar), Antwaun Stanley (vocals), and Joey Dosik (keyboards, saxophone) will be on hand for collaborations along with the rest of the band’s talented roster.
The upcoming show will mark Vulfpeck’s fourth performance at the beloved venue, following their opening set for Trey Anastasio Band in the summer of 2017 and their gig with The Motet the previous year in addition to their headlining debut earlier this year with Kamasi Washington and KNOWER as support.
Local pre-sale for Vulfpeck’s 2019 Red Rocks show with Khruangbin and Cory Henry opens on Thursday, November 15th from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. MT, with a general on-sale beginning on Friday, November 16th at 10 a.m. MT. To grab your tickets when they go on sale, head here.
