Conceived in 2010 by Chris Del Favero (guitar) and Jessie Demaree (clarinet), the nine-piece ensemble creates a truly unique psychedelic world funk experience by seamlessly blending traditional Klezmer with American Funk and other world music genres such as Jazz, Thai Pop, Tropicalia, Bossa Nova, Cumbia, and Afrobeat . Phoenix New Times says, “Jerusafunk is not only one of the most original bands in town, it’s one of the most fun.”
Sharing the stage with widely- known acts such as George Clinton Parliament Funkadelic, Ozomatli, MarchFourth Marching Band and Har Mar Superstar, Jerusafunk is carving their own path within the national Funk, Soul, and World Music scenes. Toting a wide array of world instruments, a mystifying pedal-clad horn section, and polyglot lyricists, “One Nation Under a Groove,” transcends to “One Universe Under a Groove.” Be sure to check out Jerusafunk on Spotify, Bandcamp, Soundcloud and Youtube.
