DOORS: 6:30PM
SHOW: 7:30PM
Zoofunkyou will be playing two sets. The first set will be the bands first time playing a fully acoustic set, followed by a rocking electric set.
Zoofunkyou is a genre-bending blues-funk phenomenon who have brought their quick-witted sonic expressionism and meaningful melodic lyrics to audiences all around the country. Based in Chicago, Zoofunkyou’s gumbo of finely crafted musical elements is a recipe that they’ve been working to perfect since 2013 with different ingredients and instrumentalists interspersed along the way. Zoofunkyou (or “Zoofü”) is dedicated to spreading love through music and creating inclusive events where people from all walks of life can feel safe and bring the emotional gratitude the band exudes from the stage home with them. In the current iteration, founder Derek Dare, Matthew Coglianese, and Jake Hennessy lead an epic ensemble consisting of a total of 5-8 members depending on the performance. With a wide repertoire of both gripping original music and tasteful covers, their live shows have proven time and time again to enthrall, grow and inspire a vibrant fan base affectionately known as the Zoofü Crew.

Zoofunkyou Biography
Chicago’s best kept secret is Zoofunkyou, a modern day blues-infused psychedelic soulfunk phenomenon who have brought their quick-witted sonic expressionism and meaningful melodic lyrics to audiences all around the country. Their stew of finely crafted musical elements is a recipe that they’ve been brewing since 2013 with different ingredients and instrumentalists interspersed along the way. In the current iteration, founder Derek Dare (Guitar & Vocals), Matthew Coglianese (Bass & Vocals) and Jake Hennessy (Drums) lead a quintet of fearless improvisers featuring Nathan Reider on Alto Saxophone and James Kreis on keyboards. Although they have been touring with this iteration, their most recent release features two more horn players, an extra guitar player and a percussionist into the mix for a grand total of 9 members. The band hit the road for the first time in 2018 and has since developed a national presence, leading them to performances on both coasts and two sets at Summer Camp Music Festival in 2019 and once again in 2022. With a wide repertoire of both gripping original music and tasteful cover selections, the band consistently creates musical moments in their live shows that tickle the soul, melt the face, and shake the booties of their vibrant and ever-growing fan base, the Zoofü crew.
