The Funky Knuckles, 15 MARCH 2026 live at BIRD, Rotterdam

The Funky Knuckles from Dallas are known as one of the most unique and talented bands in the modern jazz and funk world. They move effortlessly between complexity and groove: refined harmonies, lightning-fast rhythms and a sound that is as playful as it is uncompromising. No band sounds like The Funky Knuckles and that is exactly the point.

Since their inception, they have formed a collective of top musicians that continuously pushes the boundaries of jazz, hip-hop, fusion and improvisation. Their albums are cult favorites, their live shows legendary: layered, energetic, unpredictable and always with an unmistakable rawness that only truly comes to life on stage.

On March 15 2026, The Funky Knuckles will perform at BIRD. Expect deep grooves, absurd musicianship and a set that once again redefines the standard for modern jazz and fusion.

For fans of: Snarky Puppy, Ghost Note, Cory Henry, Mark Lettieri, Nate Smith and Robert Glasper.
