Jerusafunk
Phoenixs first and only Klezploitation band! Conceived in 2010 by Chris Del Favero (guitar) and Jessie Demaree (clarinet), the nine-piece costume-sporting ensemble seamlessly blends Funk with traditional Klezmer and other world musics such as Jazz, Salsa, Samba, Bossa Nova, Cumbia, and Afrobeat. Phoenix New Times says, Jerusafunk is not only one of the most original bands in town, it's one of the most fun, which is why you will see Jerusafunk frequently on AZ Central's monthly Phoenix concert picks and other local columnists's lists of top favorite live bands. In June 2017, Jerusafunk released their seventy-minute self-produced odyssey, "The Hierophant," which they followed up with their first east coast tour Summer 2017, and then a west coast tour in Summer 2018. Java Magazine commends the album: "Im not sure if there are any other Klezploitation bands in the world, but if there are, Jerusafunk should be crowned as the royalty of such a movement." While on tour this summer, Jerusafunk filmed and released a music video for the Spanish-tongued and lascivious cumbia "La Cumbia Bicuriosa," their third music video for The Hierophant. They also have videos for "Vulgar Bulgar," "Mushroom Samba," and "Saturnalia," on the horizon. As for the new album, keep your ears out for their first single in February 2019 with the vinyl album
following close behind.

Jerusafunk has performed with George Clinton Parliament Funkadelic, Har Mar Superstar, Victor Wooten, Combo Chimbita, and MarchFourth Marching Band. They have also performed at a myriad of local festivals, such as M3F (FKA McDowell Mountain Music Festival), MIMFest, Scottsdale Arts Festival, Juniper Jam, Apache Lake Music Festival, and Phoenix Comicon.
