Cory Wong must surely qualify as being one of the busiest guitarists we’ve ever met. At the time of this interview he was on tour with The Metropole Orkest, but he’s also to be found taking on funk guitar duties with both The Fearless Flyers and Vulfpeck, not to mention sundry side projects like Cory & The Wongnotes. And apart from that he’s a Grammy nominated producer – that’s an awful lot of day jobs all rolled into one, you have to admit.
When you consider that Vulfpeck were one of the first ever bands without a manager and not signed to a major label to have sold out Madison Square Garden – a feat that they may well pull off again this coming September – it’s easy to see that funk is once again very big news.
