The five-time Grammy Award-winning collective, led by bassist and composer Michael League, is known for its genre-blending sound that draws from jazz, funk, R&B, and soul. The ensemble features a rotating lineup of musicians, many of whom have collaborated with artists including Erykah Badu, Marcus Miller, Justin Timberlake, Roy Hargrove, Snoop Dogg, and John Mayer.<\/p>\n
Snarky Puppy\u2019s 2022 album Empire Central earned the Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Instrumental Album, marking the group\u2019s fifth win. The project was inspired by the band\u2019s roots in Dallas and incorporates elements of Southern rock, blues, and gospel alongside their established style.<\/p>\n
Their most recent release, Somni (2025), created in collaboration with the Metropole Orkest, expands the group\u2019s sound with orchestral arrangements while maintaining their signature rhythmic approach.<\/p>\n
The upcoming performance marks the group\u2019s return to the Paramount Theatre as part of SFJAZZ\u2019s ongoing concert programming.<\/p>\n
