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.

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.

Michael League - We are so surprised and grateful to be nominated for that very, very special night in November. The essence of this band always has been and always will be live, on stage, playing for human beings... so it’s especially special to be recognized for that. But the whole thing never would’ve happened without the wonderful people at Live Here Now and The Royal Albert Hall, and the real MVPs of the night, Snarky Puppy’s unbelievable crew,(Rosanna Freedman, TJ Abbonizio, Matt Recchia, Clare McEnerny, Nic Hard, Francis Clegg, Mason Davis, and Michael Harrison. We couldn’t ask for a better one! And above all, I want to give a huge shout out to the nominees in this category, all of whom are either good friends or former label mates of ours. Such beautiful musicians! Whoever (digitally) walks away with the hardware will be very deserving of it.

While it's not the same as being on tour, the guys are looking forward to finding a way to stay connected with you all and spark creativity. Join any class you want on a choose-your-own-donation basis. Please know that all donations go directly towards the band members. See you at 3pmEDT on Monday/Wednesday/Friday/Saturday's!
