SOPHISTAFUNK is an analog soul trio from Syracuse, NY. This fierce group blends a deep pocket, powerful lyrics and devastatingly funky vintage-key licks to create a massive, high-energy sound.For six years, this road warrior band has been hitting the pavement and blowing minds across the United States. They've collaborated live with greats spanning Bernie Worrell (Parliament/Talking Heads) to Nikki Glaspie (Beyonce/Dumpstaphunk) and were featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives when Gold's restaurant and music venue, Funk n' Waffles, was featured on the show on December 25, 2012. Host, Guy Fieri, dug the band so hard, they've since played his birthday party in Santa Rosa, CA and became the first band ever to play the International Home and Housewares Convention in Chicago, IL on March 3, 2013, by Fieri's personal request.
SOPHISTAFUNK crossed the pond in August 2013, and toured in the UK with the internationally acclaimed Syracuse native, Joe Driscoll. Album 'Freedom Is' dropped.
