Snarky puppy
Snarky Puppy is a diverse musical collective made up of musicians from all over the world. They are considered one of the world's most important contemporary jazz names, but their eclectic mix of genres shows that they are much more than that.
This band is always looking to develop creatively. The joy they convey when they perform together captures an ever-larger audience, across genre, taste and age boundaries. The music can be characterized as a mixture of jazz with elements of funk, soul, hip-hop and fusion.
They have four Grammy awards from 2014, 2016, 2017 and 2021 in their pockets, and have also performed with artists such as Snoop Dogg, Justin Timberlake and Erykahv Badu. The band is led by bassist, composer and producer Michael League, who has been with it since the beginning in 2003. Snarky Puppy has 25 members in steady rotation, where black and white American music culture meets, with elements from the rest of the world. The sound aims to hit you right in the dancing shoes, it's full of energy, young and colourful. With their ability to connect with the audience, reach beyond the edge of the stage and deliver out-of-the-box, rock-solid melodies and punch, Snarky Puppy is a rare live phenomenon.
Don't miss this musical tsunami, when they take the stage at Kongsberg Musikkteater, Thursday 7 July.
