Phunk & Roses

Phunk & Roses are a six-piece out of Westchester who play the rooms between Larchmont, Mount Kisco and Manhattan, and turn up at Garcia's at the Capitol Theatre several times a year. Their setlists are a quarter Grateful Dead — China Cat > Rider, Shakedown, Bird Song, Cassidy, Mississippi Half Step — alongside Phish, and a wide spread of funk and soul covers and their own songs. Bassist Dave Fogelman saw the Grateful Dead 174 times; keyboardist Matt Barcewicz plays in the Brent Mydland tradition. Cathy Fogelman, a former Broadway performer, sings; Evan Molho and Nick Fesko play guitar and Vin D'Agostino drums. Every night has the songbook in it, and no night is only the songbook.
