POTSDAM – The band Funk Mode will be the next featured performer of the Ives Park Concert Series Sept. 16, at 7 p.m.
Funk Mode is a funk fusion band based in Canton, created by local musicians Jon Dufore and Kyle Tupper from their faculty recitals at St. Lawrence University.
Funk Mode’s stated goal is to showcase original tunes and arrangements of covers, and to challenge themselves with more diverse and difficult music.
The band is comprised of Dufore on guitar, Matt Gayle on bass, Bill Vitek on keyboards, Tupper on drums and vocals, Tim Savage on sax and Dave Alderson on trumpet.
