Formed in Denton, Texas in 2004, the band features a collective of nearly 30 musicians, referred to as "The Fam" on their recordings and tours. The musicians perform on a variety of instruments including guitars, keyboards, saxophones, brass, percussion and strings. Many of the current and former band members were once students at the University of North Texas.
The band released their debut album "Live at Uncommon Ground" in 2005 and began touring extensively after their second album "The Only Constant" in 2006. Snarky Puppy's first four albums were released under Sitmom Records. Their fifth album, "Tell Your Friends" was released in 2010 under Ropeadope Records.
In 2013, Snarky Puppy embarked on their biggest project yet with the "Family Dinner Volume One." They teamed up with some of their favorite vocalists in the world for a live recording at the Jefferson Center in Roanoke, Virginia. Their Performance of the song "Something" with Lalah Hathaway has earned them a 2014 Grammy for Best R&B Performance.
Snarky Puppy's leader, Michael League, was interviewed and written about in the 2010 book release "The New Face of Jazz: An intimate look at today's living legends and the artists of tomorrow" by Cicily Janus. The author cites League's self-termed music as "jafunkadansion" for its genre-bending qualities of instrumental and dance music.

I've seen this video a million times, but for some reason today, I started crying when I got to the end. I can't explain how or why music touches me the way it does, but I'm always incredibly moved by how musicians pour their souls into their craft. They give their all just to give us 6 minutes of auditory pleasure. It's incredible to me!

For me, it is realizing the audience "gets it" at the end that I always get misty eyed over... the possibility that they actually understand how groundbreaking and remarkable this music is.
@ShawnTheDriver
I agree man! At around 5:34 is when I think the audience finally understands. That lady gleaming in the corner, the guys smiling to each other, most of everyone is bobbing to the beat....and at 5:46, those long notes....all of it coming together.....man. This band really is incredible.
