This concert takes place on the plaza at the Addam Clayton Powell, Jr. State Office Building – 163 W 125th St, New York, NY 10027

Funky Dawgz are one of the most exciting 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, jazz, hip hop, and funk, with a brass twist.

Emerging from Connecticut, they have toured internationally and have been featured in all corners of the live music scene. From playing sold out shows at Madison Square Garden as the horn section for Dispatch, to Okeechobee, to closing out The Peach Music Festival, their performances flow seamlessly from EDM festivals to jam band festivals. They were also recently featured multiple times on national televised programming on 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.
