Colorado
Butterfly Cocktail is an original alt pop/rock band from Colorado. Our style has been compared to U2, Sarah McLachlan, Coldplay, and the Sundays. We are available for bar and club gigs, festivals, and parties. We have our own PA system and sound man if needed.
Over the course of the past century, music has been enriched by the talents of many wonderful musicians and songwriters. This wealth of creativity has delivered such an overwhelming quantity of material that we are forced to qualify the sounds into categories that enable the listener to define the listening experience. As musicians looking to expose our finesse while realizing the need for order, we choose to celebrate life with the richness and freedom of Jazz and the syncopation of Funk. FUNK SHUI, pronounced Funk Shway, was founded in 2001 in Denver, Colorado by Andreas Taber (guitars/vocals).
