About Vulfpeck

Vulfpeck are an American funk band formed in Ann Arbor, Michigan, in the early 2010s by Jack Stratton, Theo Katzman, Woody Goss, and Joe Dart. Originally connected through their time at the University of Michigan, the group bonded over a shared love of classic funk, soul, and pop efficiency, drawing inspiration from artists like Stevie Wonder, Earth, Wind & Fire, and early minimalist funk records. Their breakthrough came organically through YouTube, where low-budget, concept-driven videos such as Beastly, Christmas in L.A., and Back Pocket showcased their tight musicianship, playful humour, and stripped-back production ethos.

Vulfpeck became widely known not just for their music but for their bold experimentation with the music industry itself. In 2014, they made headlines with their Spotify “Sleepify” experiment, releasing an album of silent tracks and encouraging fans to stream it overnight, using the royalties to fund a free tour for listeners. The stunt sparked global debate about streaming economics and positioned Vulfpeck as one of the most independent-minded bands of their generation. Musically, songs like Dean Town, 1612, It’s Nice to Be Alive, Wait for the Moment, and Back Pocket have become modern funk staples, praised for their groove-first philosophy and joyful simplicity.

Despite their DIY image, Vulfpeck have achieved remarkable acclaim. Their 2018 album Hill Climber topped the Billboard 200, a rare feat for an independently released funk record, and cemented their reputation as a band capable of combining underground credibility with mainstream success. They have been widely praised by critics for revitalising funk for a new generation, influencing countless bedroom musicians and bands with their emphasis on groove, economy, and personality over polish. Their rotating cast of collaborators, including Antwaun Stanley, Cory Wong, and Joey Dosik, has further expanded their musical universe.

On the road, Vulfpeck have built a cult-like following through carefully curated live shows that feel communal, spontaneous, and groove-driven. Their previous tours have included sold-out theatre and arena dates, major festival appearances, and landmark shows such as their sold-out performance at Madison Square Garden. Each tour reinforces their reputation as a band that thrives on live energy, musical chemistry, and audience connection rather than spectacle.
