Sophistafunk were formed by a group of friends whose love of soul, funk and disco brought them together. Having played in a number of different bands together over the years, this rag-tag bag of musicians decided to form a funky party band that played the music they they loved to dance to, the only way they knew how; with maximum levels of funk.
We carefully picked our setlist and filled it to the brim with the funkiest dance floor hits, brought to life by our amazing lineup of musicians. Our philosophy is simple; great musicians, playing great songs, makes a great party.
Sophistafunk are available in a variety of incredible lineups to suit all budgets and tastes. You can pick our six-piece core lineup featuring, guitar, keyboards, female vocals, drums and one brass instrument or you can customise the lineup to suit your needs and add male vocals, and additional brass musicians to add more harmonies and musical textures to your party.
Our rhythm section of keyboards, bass, guitar and drums are the groove makers in this funky ensemble. The Sophistahorns add some serious storm-force wind to our base layer of funk. They recreate the devastating horn lines that made the sound of Stevie Wonder, Earth, Wind and Fire, and Prince. Sophistafunk will keep your dancefloor hopping to the funkiest sounds with their decade spanning setlist.
Our vocalists are the icing on the cake. Emma Stack is an award winning vocalist, and Ger Proudfoot is the powerhouse behind legendary Dublin soul band Proudfoot. They bring the story of soul, disco and funk to life, night after night, venue after venue, party after party.
