SNARKY PUPPY

The epic instrumental fusion monster that is Snarky Puppy return to Edinburgh to play The Bongo Club with support from special guests.
With the release of their last two live CD/DVDs, Snarky Puppy has gone from an underground secret to one of the most internationally respected names in instrumental music.
The 3-time Dallas Observer Music Award winning group ("Best Jazz Act" 2008, 2009, 2010) fuses a deep knowledge and respect for musical tradition with sonic and conceptual innovation in a way that is able to reach the most critical- or most carefree- audience.
The core of the group, which remains consistent, features Grammy Award-winners Robert "Sput" Searight on drums (God's Property, Snoop Dogg) and Shaun Martin on keys (Kirk Franklin, Erykah Badu). Led by award-winning bassist/composer Michael League, Snarky Puppy delivers raw funk and sensitive dynamics, relentless pocket and lyrical melodicism, lush harmony and soulful simplicity, and most importantly, a delicate mixture of composition and improvisation.
THE MIKE KEARNEY KA-TET

The Ka-tet is the brain-child of singer-songwriter Mike Kearney. The synthesis of soul-stretching vocals, intricate composition, pounding groove, Kung Fu Conducting and a monstrous horn section to boot, puts the 8-piece in a class of its own.
