His sound and vibe is unmistakable…and instantly identifiable!

Among the most influential contemporary bassists in the 21st Century, Joe Dart darts up and down the fretboard with flawless fluidity in the service of fun funksters Vulfpeck – who prove that bands can actually reach the masses in the post album era.

Inspired by Michael Peter Balzary, EWF’s Verdine White, Francis Rocco Prestia, and the immortal Jaco – Dart, with his treble tone dominating, is a dexterous player whose passages quote Motown / Philly soul classics whilst pushing a harmonic and rhythmic envelope or two.

In fact all the ‘pecks are clever instrumentalists- and they support each and their frequent guest collaborators with reverence and expertise.
