Formed in 2003 by bandleader/bassist/composer Michael League, Snarky Puppy is a “D.I.Y. juggernaut” (The New York Times) that has won four Grammy Awards in the last six years. They are a collective of sorts, with as many as 25 members in regular rotation. At its core, the band represents the convergence of both black and white American music culture with various accents from around the world and the defining characteristic being the joy of performing together in the push to grow creatively.
