Drummer Robert "Sput" Searight and percussionist Nate Werth have powered Snarky Puppy throughout his rise from regional Texas act to GRAMMY Award-winning international empire. As the rhythmic heart of the ensemble there was every reason for sky-high expectations when they launched the spin-off band Ghost-Note. Looking to create a sleek vehicle for their new model of "conscious funk" they recruited some of the wolrld's most accomplished groovers hailing from the bands of Prince, Snoop Dogg, Qantic, and Herbie Hancock, and the rest is history.
What's extraordinary about the combo is the way it expands on seductive beats from the deep of the late, legendary J Dilla.
