Documented collaborators

Fu*k 2017: A Tribute To Those We Lost began as a late-night, year-end homage to musicians who passed away in the prior year. Originating from the collaborative energy of Turkuaz and The Motet, this tribute concept has become a notable fixture around jazz, funk, and rock communities. The most documented iterations occurred during the Jazz Fest seasons, with performances spanning multi-band collaborations and guest artists. While the official footprint of a sustained 2025 tour isn’t confirmed, the project remains a celebrated cross-band celebration of legacy and live music culture.

  • 2025 status: Ticket-reseller sites show 2025 listings for the Fu*k 2017 concept, but there is no widely verified official 2025 tour or venue announced. ([meetandgreetticket.com](https://www.meetandgreetticket.com/Fu-k-2017-A-Tribute-To-Those-We-Lost?utm_source=openai))
  • Performers’ broader context: Turkuaz and The Motet are established touring acts with long discographies and regular touring schedules beyond the Fu*k concept; this project functions as a special-event tribute rather than a sustained duo-band.
