Wurk is a 6-piece funk-fusion group that formed in Madison, WI in 2016. Inspired by Snarky Puppy, Umphrey’s McGee, Herbie Hancock, and many others, their innovative original songs and ambitious interpretations of popular covers offer an impressive multi-genre exploration of funk, jazz fusion, prog rock, reggae, and more. Described by Isthmus Magazine as “summer-jam-perfect”, their sound seeks to employ a musically educated tone; Wurk fills the gap between complexity and groove, impressing fans and keeping them dancing all night. The Madison Area Music Association (MAMA) Awards recognized their rapid ascent to stardom in 2018 with the Breakthrough Artist of the Year Award; then only six months later Wurk won five more awards including the coveted 2019 MAMA Artist of the Year Award.

We are excited to now offer a limited number of in-person advance tickets to attend The Canopy Sessions, our live music series held in the tropical Bolz Conservatory! $15; find tickets here. Audience members must wear face masks and keep at least 6' of physical distance throughout the performances. We'll also continue to live stream the series through our Facebook page for those who wish to enjoy the music from the comfort of home.
