Don’t miss a rare performance by funk powerhouse Kung Fu with special guest Night Zero. This show is part of New York State Music’s Jam for Tots Series. Please consider bringing a new, unwrapped, toy for our donation box and help spread holiday cheer to someone who can use a little extra help this holiday season.
Proud to be firmly installed in the new-funk movement, KUNG FU is quickly popularizing their unique sonic contribution, blurring the line between intense electro-fusion, and blistering dance arrangements.ย Making fusion music โcoolโ again, the band draws on influences such as early Headhunters and Weather Report, and merges those ideas with a contemporary EDM informed sensibility.ย Imagine 70โs funk-fusion meets a modern dance party!
Although the ensemble cast enjoys a seasoned pedigree that reads like a late-night summer festival all-star jam, this fledgling โnu-sionโ project is growing a unique and rabid following by commanding audiences at theaters, clubs, and major national festivalsย since 2012.ย
Kung Fu features Tim Palmieri (guitar &ย vocals), Robert Somerville (tenor saxย &ย vocals), Beau Sasser (keyboards &ย vocals), Chris DeAngelis (bassย guitar &ย vocals), and Adrian Tramontano (drums/percussion).ย The powerhouse quintetโs live show has been described by critics and fans alike as โlethal funkโ, โexplosiveโ, โjaw droppingโ, and โmusically mesmerizingโ.ย For the uninitiated, the experience is typically shocking yet the focus is simple: just sit back and enjoy the ride!

“Night Zero – The night before the big event. The one you swear youโll take it easyโbut never do. Night Zero is the pre-party that becomes the main event, the night out you didnโt see coming but wonโt soon forget. And now, itโs a band.
This rotating cast of incredible artists brings together some of the jam sceneโs most revered players for a raw, unscripted throwdown that blends rock, funk, jazz, and deep improvisation with nothing off-limits.
The core lineup is a one-of-a-kind fusion of styles and personalities, rarely seen together on one stage. Rob Compa (Dopapod), known for his mind-bending guitar work and precision improvisation. Zdenek Gubb (Twiddle), whose unmistakable bass tone and groove drive every jam with grit and finesse. Adrian Tramontano (Kung Fu/Twiddle), a rhythmic powerhouse with jaw-dropping chops and relentless energy. Leon Campos (Dwight & Nicole), whose warm, soulful keys bring depth and color to every note.
These are players who donโt just complement each otherโthey push each other, unlocking something new every time they play. The kind of chemistry you canโt plan, only discoverโwhen the right musicians collide at the right moment.
Night Zero โnever planned, always unforgettable.”
