   About snarky puppy
*2009 and 2008 Dallas Observer Music Award Winner (Best Jazz Act)*

We are a large ensemble devoted to bringing uncompromised, original music to a non-exclusive audience. In a crazy, twisted way, we play dance music. It's also art music. I suppose it's just music.

Snarky Puppy is an eclectic group of folks from very different musical and cultural backgrounds... it includes sidemen from artists like Snoop Dogg, Erykah Badu, Chaka Khan, Kirk Franklin, Marcus Miller, Myron Butler & Levi, and the like. Two of 'em have Grammy awards. That's pretty cool. We are committed to music education in addition to bringing new sounds into the world. We love working with schools and non-profit organizations whenever possible. Everyone in the band cooks. Everyone in the band dances. Not necessarily well. There is a link to an actual bio below. I'm just having fun here.

We've just finished writing all of the music for our fourth record, and will be taking it on a two-month tour this fall throughout the U.S. and Canada. Then, off to record a brand new album and DVD in the swampy wilderness of southern Louisiana. Can't wait!

Some folks we love to play with that you would probably love:

Snarky Puppy's third album is now available online (no tax, free shippping)! You can buy it below, or buy it off of ITunes, Digstation, Rhapsody, or wherever else you like online.

Here's a cute little blurb...

"Bring Us the Bright is Snarky Puppy's most ambitious, eclectic, and hard-hitting release to date. It features 8 tracks from 5 different composers and a slew of guest artists including violin prodigy Zach Brock, "Lefthand" Kevin Williams, Bobby Sparks, Jose Aponte, Jorge Ginorio, Mark Lettieri, and William Barnes, and particularly highlights the talents of SP members Bernard Wright, Bill Laurance, and Robert "Sput" Searight. From klezmer to hip hop to Brazilian funk, this is by far the best representation of Snarky Puppy's live energy and spontaneity."

Hey guys you sound amazing!  I go to Humber College and saw you guys play at the school, and caught your show at the Rex Friday night.  Great show!  Looking forward to when you guys return to Toronto.

All the best.
