Brooklyn-based Snarky Puppy, with ten years and nine albums to show for, might better be described as "one of the big dogs". Earlier this year they were awarded a GRAMMY for "Best R&B group". Hints of 80's fusion, with funky grooves as heard in the 70's, and an unmistakable up-to-date and innovative sound are part of making Snarky Puppy a live-phenomena out of the ordinary.

Snarky Puppy has arisen around band leader, composer and bass-player Michael League in Trenton, Texas, and consist of a varying amount of musicians. Among the core members are several musicians working closely with artists such as Erykah Badu, Justin Timberlake and Snoop Dog [now Snoop Lion, editors notice]. In short we're talking about a collective of musicians consisting of extremely talented instrumentalists. As well as a tremendous live-band.

Look forward to a mix of funk, soul, jazz and untamed rhythms. In short a concert that should appeal as much to the laid-back listener as the prominent dancer.
