About Me

The Funk Factory is a concert venue in the works that's sole purpose is to provide an amazing experience through live music. It's a venue born from the spirit of the live sound that will provide an amazing opportunity for band and fans to come together and have an unbelievable time... all hours into the night. We hope to find a home for the Funk Factory somewhere in between NYC and Bridgeport, CT. The venue will incorporate the best features of the hottest and most popular venues in the live music scene. When you go to the Funk Factory you're guaranteed to experience a number of things:1) An incredible intimate venue layout that brings the fans and band as close to each other as possible with a unique branched stage.2) Quality, fresh music from bands that will never perform the same show twice. You'll hear the most talented jam bands, rappers, and any other unique artists that will give something new every time.3) A visual as well as audio assault with state-of- the-art lighting and a venue painted and decorated amazingly to complement the music you'll hear.4) Luxury with comfortable VIP rooms and waiter service as well as a sick bar with quality drinks flowin to get the party started.5) The venue is aimed to be placed in an area unrestricted by noise laws. Shows can go as long as the band and fans want it too. Why stop something that's feeling so good?A night at The Funk Factory isn't just another concert, it's an experience.
