Dylan Miles to Perform with Funkstication at NOLA Funk Fest 2026

Dylan Miles is excited to announce that he will be performing with Funkstication, a brand-new funk collective making its debut at NOLA Funk Fest 2026.

Created by New Orleans music legends Robert Mercurio and Craig Klein, Funkstication brings together some of the city’s most talented high school and college musicians for a unique mentorship experience focused on creating, performing, and managing a professional band.

Dylan was selected as the group’s guitarist and is honored to perform alongside an incredible lineup of emerging artists and seasoned mentors.
