Snarky Puppy

Summer Arts Festival presented by Huntington Arts Council

Snarky Puppy has gone from an underground secret to one of the most internationally respected names in instrumental music. The band seamlessly fuses a deep knowledge and respect for musical tradition with sonic and conceptual innovation.  This eclectic group of musicians hails from two different cultures and traditions- jazz and rock kids from white America, and gospel/R&B kids from black America. Their convergence instantly draws listeners to the music- raw funk and sensitive dynamics, relentless pocket and lyrical melodicism, lush harmony and soulful simplicity, and most important, a delicate mixture of composition and improvisation.
