Cory Wong – presents The Fretboard Odyssey at Vicar Street Dublin

Cory Wong is a Grammy-nominated guitarist, composer, and producer celebrated for his explosive live energy, razor-sharp funk grooves, and boundary-pushing collaborations across genres. Known for blending the technical precision of jazz with the infectious spirit of funk, pop, and soul, Wong has carved out a singular space as one of modern music’s most dynamic and joyful performers.

A Minneapolis native, Cory first rose to international prominence through his work with Vulfpeck, where his rhythmic guitar playing and magnetic stage presence helped define the band’s sound and live aesthetic. He’s since built a prolific solo career, releasing a steady stream of albums that showcase his unmatched versatility from horn-driven funk and instrumental fusion to expansive collaborations with artists including Jon Batiste, The Jonas Brothers, Bruce Hornsby, Chromeo, Billy Strings, Victor Wooten, and more. 

On stage, Cory Wong’s shows are a celebration of musicianship and connection, equal parts precision, humour, and unbridled joy. His live performances with the Cory Wong Band and the Fearless Flyers have become must-see events for music lovers, guitar enthusiasts, and groove seekers alike.

Beyond his work as a performer, Wong has established himself as a visionary collaborator and creative force in the modern music landscape. His projects often extend into visual and digital storytelling including his self-produced variety series The Wongnotes, and his work as host of the Wong Notes Podcast, where he explores creativity and craft with fellow artists.

Whether playing sold-out shows around the world, producing albums for others, or crafting his ever-growing catalog of original music, Cory Wong continues to bring a sense of positivity, playfulness, and purpose to everything he creates.
