NuPhunk Orchestra

About Me

What has 12 feet and brings a truckload of stank wherever it goes? It must be the well-oiled machine known as the NuPhunk Orchestra, the Brandon-based contemporary urban music enemble that gives props to the late & greats, while remaining hip to the here & now! With musical knowledge and virtuosity, technical facility, and style running rampant amongst them, the members of the NuPhunk Orchestra are a hand-selected group of some of Manitobas finest young musicians, and each bring a unique character to the band, both on and off the stage.
