Joy and Madness will be hitting the Sacramento Music Festival for another year. While we don't know exactly when we'll be playing yet, look for us on the Friday and Sunday schedule. Every Memorial Day Weekend since 1974, Old Sacramento and other Downtown venues have been home to one of the area’s biggest parties of the year. Originally the Old

Joy & Madness is extremely excited to be joining what's sure to be a stellar lineup and the amazing vibe of the Redwood Mountain Faire. For our fans in San Jose, and Santa Cruz county, this is a must see. The Redwood Mountain Faire started in the early 1980s as a way to feature the talent of local artists, and

We're teaming up with Olympia's premier funk band  and Olympia's best sounding room to bring our grooves to Olympia Washington. We are so excited to be working with The Brown Edition on this upcoming date. Funkiness will abound, nastiness will ensue, and you will be a part of it.

The Torch Club is our favorite Sacramento haunt and the place where many of us came up musically. The packed dance floor, sweat filled room, and nasty party is part of what makes the Torch Club a favorite for the Jamfam. We don't play here often, but when we do it is fun!!

Last year, we experienced an amazing energy and pure funkiness from the beautiful people at this festival. This year, we'll be back on Sunday and will be bringing two sets of Joy & Madness to rival last year! Bring

Guitarfish is easily one of the most epic festivals we've ever had the privilege of taking part in. From late night jams to killer festival art to morning yoga and dips in the beautiful Yuba River.

Swabbies is the best spot for a summer afternoon on the river. Great food (try the fish tacos), refreshing drinks, and a beautiful outdoor live music arena that is perfect chill spot for a summer afternoon. Last time we played Swabbies a storm blew in, dumped rain on the dancers, and the party continued through it all. It's just that

For two years past, For the Funk of It has been a rager up in Belden town, and for two years past, the the fest has invited Joy & Madness to come play, but circumstances prevented the band from making it up. After seeing photos of what looks like an amazing party (and not being there for it), we made
