Their latest Grammy® winning album - Empire Central - was released in September 2022.  With a big, bold, chill and laidback sound, it was rooted in its native culture while reaching outward, forward bound. The album was a love letter to Texas, with the group looking fondly at where it came from and confident in the polished power from which its members continue to build the unique Snarky Puppy sound.

“Our soundscape has expanded dramatically over the years” says League. “When the band started, we were jazzier, brainy and music oriented. Moving into the Dallas scene we became groovier, more emotional, deeper in a sense. We focused more on communicating a clear message, understandable to a listener without dumbing things down”.  

Always evolving in its musical output, each new record brings a new vision and progressive direction, “Our rule is that it can’t sound like it sounded before” comments League, he continues, “the music has to feel like it’s moving somewhere” The band have just released a 10th Anniversary deluxe edition of their groundbreaking album ‘We Like it Here’. Remixed and remastered and with the addition of a whole album of alternate takes and a previously unreleased track that first saw the light of day on the Grammy award winning orchestral album ‘Sylva’. Speaking of which, 2025 kicks off with the recording of a new album with the Metropole Orkest in The Netherlands in January and a new vision for the GroundUp Festival in Miami in February.

This also raises the question – where will Snarky Puppy go next? For Snarky Puppy fans, the answer to this is a very exciting prospect.
