Nickel Plate District AMP & MOKB Presents: Snarky Puppy

The Nickel Plate District Amphitheater (NPD AMP) and MOKB Presents announce: Snarky Puppy live in concert on Friday, September 8, 2023. Tickets for the Snarky Puppy show go on sale Friday, March 24 at npdamp.com.

After over a decade of relentless touring and recording in all but complete obscurity, the Texas-bred quasi-collective Snarky Puppy suddenly found itself held up by the press and public as one of the major figures in the jazz world. But as the category names for all five of the band’s Grammy® awards would indicate (Best R&B Performance in 2014, Best Contemporary Instrumental Album in 2016, 2017, 2021, and 2023), Snarky Puppy isn’t exactly a jazz band. It’s not a fusion band, and it’s definitely not a jam band. It’s probably best to take Nate Chinen of the New York Times’ advice, as stated in an online discussion about the group, to “take them for what they are, rather than judge them for what they’re not.”

Pre-sale tickets are on sale Thursday, March 23 starting at 10 a.m. when you use the code: NPDA2023
