YARN has been touring relentlessly for years, bringing their brand of Americana and roots rock to stages across the country, and on April 16 they are bringing it to Funk ‘n Waffles in Syracuse. If you have seen them before, you already know exactly what you are getting into. If you have not, a Thursday night at one of Syracuse’s best small venues is an excellent place to discover what all the fuss is about. Get there early, order a waffle, and settle in for a great set.
About YARN
YARN is a roots rock and Americana band that has built their reputation the old-fashioned way — through years of nonstop touring, a deep catalog of original music, and live shows that leave rooms buzzing long after the last note. Their sound pulls from folk, country, and rock traditions, held together by strong songwriting and the kind of musical chemistry that only comes from playing together night after night for years. This is a band that sounds even better live than on record, which is always the highest compliment you can pay a touring act.
The Venue
Funk ‘n Waffles is one of those venues where every genre sounds great, and Americana is no exception. The 200-capacity room in downtown Syracuse has a reputation for excellent sound, a welcoming crowd, and food that legitimately stands on its own — the waffle menu is creative, delicious, and unlike anything you will find at a typical music venue. Parking is available in nearby garages, and the venue’s downtown location puts you within walking distance of plenty of other options for before or after the show.
Tickets & Details
YARN plays Funk ‘n Waffles on Thursday, April 16, 2026, with doors at 8:00 PM. Tickets are $24, which is a fair price for a band with this much road experience and musical depth bringing their full catalog to a small room. Get tickets and mark your Thursday calendar.
Seeing a road-tested Americana band in a 200-person room with great food and drinks is one of life’s simple pleasures that never gets old. YARN at Funk ‘n Waffles is the kind of show where you walk in a casual fan and walk out telling everyone you know about it the next morning. Thursday nights at Funk ‘n Waffles have a relaxed, low-pressure energy that lets you focus entirely on the music, and YARN is a band that rewards your full attention. This is a night out done right — good music, good food, great venue.
