Experience Wurk live on October 16th

Wurk is scheduled to perform at the Barrymore Theatre in Madison, Wisconsin on October 16, 2026. Wurk’s musical style blends elements of funk, soul, and electronic music, often incorporating live instrumentation with synthesized sounds and samples. Their performances are known for energetic grooves and improvisational elements, drawing influence from artists like Parliament-Funkadelic and J Dilla while maintaining a distinctly modern sound.

The Barrymore Theatre originally opened in 1927 as a Vaudeville house and movie palace named the Schubert Theatre. It underwent several name changes – including the Parkway and the Orpheum – before becoming The Barrymore in 1992. The building features a Spanish Eclectic architectural style with ornate detailing and a proscenium arch stage. Throughout its history, the theatre has hosted a diverse range of performances, including theatrical productions, concerts spanning multiple genres, comedy shows, and film screenings. It is currently operated as a live performance venue with a capacity of approximately 1,500 standing or 850 seated. The theatre is located on State Street in the heart of downtown Madison and remains a significant cultural landmark within the city.
