In 2012, Snarky Puppy booked their first European tour through Facebook posts, begging people to help find a bar they could play in. Years later, on November 14th, 2019, Snarky Puppy recorded their sold-out show from the iconic Royal Albert Hall in London. Featuring an extended line-up of 15 out of their 18 regular members, the record includes many tracks from their recent studio album, Immigrance.

Snarky Puppy Wins GRAMMY for 'Live at the Royal Albert Hall'
Michael League - Yowza. It’s an absolute honor to receive this award from the Recording Academy.
Before I say anything else, I want to ask everyone reading this to actively support Christian Scott, Bill Frisell, Gregoire Maret, Romain Collin, Jon Batiste, and Black Violin. We’re honored to even be in the same sentence as them!
It’s been a year without live music. This record reminds us of what we’ve been missing- the energy of a live crowd, the joy of being on stage together... and I want to thank the incredible Snarky Puppy crew for making not just this show- but every show- an absolute pleasure. Live Here Now Recording and Royal Albert Hall, you made this happen! Thank you!
Big love to GroundUP Music for being the center of our community, to Mike Chadwick for convincing us to make this record in the first place, and to our label-mate and dear, dear friend Becca Stevens, as she celebrates her first ever (and overdue!) nomination. Everyone please show her love!
And finally, thank YOU all for putting us here. It’s been the listeners from the very, very, very humble beginning. We love you.
Snarky Puppy - Live at the Royal Albert Hall (2020 vs 2019)
The room looks a little different than it did this time last year. Strength and love to all of the venues and crews around the world who make live music happen for all of us, band and audience, each and every night.

About
Jazz + Funk + World + Soul + Pop
Snarky Puppy is truly a different kind of musical animal.
The once Texan, now New York-based quasi-collective Snarky Puppy has gone from the best-kept secret to one of the most respected names in instrumental music. Although still "underground" in many respects, the band earned its first Grammy Award in early 2014 (for Best R&B Performance), followed by two more in the subsequent years, and has earned high praise from critical stalwarts like the BBC, Village Voice, The Guardian, New York Times, and Washington Post, as well as the world’s most respected musicians, from Pat Metheny to Prince. Since 2014, their albums have topped Billboard Jazz, Billboard Contemporary Jazz, Billboard Heatseeker, and iTunes Jazz charts. The band has always used live performance as its chief form of evangelism, and over the last 8 years has maintained a more intense tour schedule than almost any band in the idiom with over 1,200 performances.
