Jazz in the Park- Snarky Puppy

 

East Town Association Presents: Snarky Puppy

Happy Hour starts at 5 p.m. Music starts at 6 p.m.

Snarky Puppy turned a very definitive corner in 2012. The band released the critically-acclaimed live, in-studio DVD groundUP, which immediately soared to #3 on the ITUNES jazz charts and #14 on Billboard. Shortly after, YouTube views skyrocketed to over 1.5 million combined. Heading to Europe for the first time, Snarky Puppy was met with sell-out crowds (including encore performances in London and Paris) and accosted by representatives of the continent’s largest jazz festivals. The spring trip was so successful that a fall follow-up tour was quickly booked, including sold-out performances at the London Jazz Festival and the prestigious New Morning in Paris among many others. Home audiences were no exception, as over half of Snarky Puppy’s 140 North American shows sold out. The band has gained a reputation for not only putting on one of the most unique live experiences in the instrumental world, but also attracting to its shows the biggest names in the music community.
