Snarky Puppy, a Grammy-winning collective noted for combining jazz, funk, and world music, was founded in 2004 in Denton, Texas, by bassist Michael League. Members are highly skilled musicians, many of them attended Berklee College of Music, which contributes to the band's dynamic and improvisational style. Their early recordings, such as The Only Constant (2006), had sophisticated arrangements and group chemistry, which garnered them widespread recognition.
Snarky Puppy rose to prominence with We Like It Here (2014), which was recorded live in the Netherlands and won a Grammy for Best Contemporary Instrumental Album. Tours in Europe, North America, and Asia followed, as did collaborations with musicians such as Lalah Hathaway and David Crosby. They wowed spectators at the Montreux Jazz Festival and Jazz à Vienne with their improvisational performances.
Today, Snarky Puppy continues to release critically acclaimed albums such as Empire Central (2022). Fans come to see favourites like "Lingus" and "Shofukan" performed live, with dynamic interaction and breathtaking solos.
