Snarky Puppy

“Maybe you didn’t notice, but this is Snarky Puppy’s world, and the rest of us only live in it.” —The New York Times

Snarky Puppy is a five-time Grammy–winning collective that defies easy classification. Drawing from funk, R&B, hard rock, classic soul, modern gospel, fusion, and jazz, the band occupies a musical space entirely its own. As New York Times critic Nate Chinen suggests, they’re best appreciated for what they are—rather than what they’re not.

With members hailing from Japan, Argentina, Canada, and the United Kingdom, the band embodies a truly global perspective—but it’s true defining trait is the joy of collaboration. That shared spirit fuels a constant push toward creative growth, making every performance an electrifying celebration of musical possibility.
