Snarky Puppy is an American jazz fusion band led by bassist Michael League. Founded in 2004, Snarky Puppy combines a variety of jazz idioms, rock, world music, and funk and has won five Grammy Awards.[1] Although the band has worked with vocalists, League described Snarky Puppy as "a pop band that improvises a lot, without vocals".[2]

Everywhere Snarky Puppy goes, the mildly curious become the manically converted; quite a feat when you consider that this Texas collective is not easy to define stylistically. At previous gigs, they mixed up their scarily tight grooves with jazz improvisations, but would just as easily incorporate elements of pop, rock, soul and hip-hop. Their past performances also include concerts with the Metropole Orkest. Of the five Grammy Awards that Snarky Puppy managed to pick up, the latest was for their most recent album Empire Central (2022). On this surprisingly accessible record, 19 musicians come and go within a 90-minute listening – all masterfully held together by bassist and bandleader Michael League.
