LOS ANGELES, CA-
“…When Snarky Puppy took the stage, the Bowl transformed. Their music moves like a living organism: horns locking into grooves, keyboards cascading into counter-rhythms, percussion and bass anchoring it all in constant motion. I first saw them at the Troubadour years ago, when they were still relatively a well-kept secret. That show blew my mind: a dozen musicians pushing sound to the brink of chaos but never losing control. Seeing them again under the open night sky, it struck me how that same feral precision had scaled up. They still play like a family, listening intently to each other, communicating through nods and bursts of melody.
The Bowl amplified their spirit. The venue’s acoustic amphitheatre caught every syncopated snare and horn blast, letting the sound roll across the amphitheater in waves. Snarky Puppy’s music has always been about community… the joy of many voices moving as one… and here that joy multiplied. Their set drew heavily from Empire Central, their 2022 love letter to Texas, and you could feel that homegrown soul in every passage. They sounded bigger but never bloated, intricate but never sterile, alive in a way that could only happen when the music is allowed to sprawl across open air.
Before they finished their set, they announced that they were in the process of writing and recording new material. No doubt, it will be another chapter of their ever evolving sonic adventure…”
