Snarky Puppy's Family Dinner - Volume 2
After winning a 2014 Grammy Award for the first installment of their "Family Dinner" album series, Snarky Puppy is heading to New Orleans to record and film Volume Two.
This time around, we're bringing some instrumentalist guests along with the 8 featured vocalists. And as is the tradition with Family Dinner albums, this one will benefit a music charity called The Roots of Music, which empowers the youth of New Orleans through music education, academic support, and mentorship while preserving and promoting the unique musical and cultural heritage of the city where jazz (and consequently, a whole lot of other music) was born.
We are extremely grateful to have the following guests join us for what I'm sure will be a beautiful three days of music (and probably not too bad of a hang, either).
VOCALISTS
Susana Baca (Peru)
David Crosby (USA)
Laura Mvula (UK)
Salif Keita (Mali)
Becca Stevens (USA)
Jacob Collier (UK)
Knower (USA)
Chris Turner (USA)
INSTRUMENTALISTS
Jeff Coffin
Charlie Hunter
Väsen (Sweden)
Carlos Malta (Brazil)
Bernardo Aguiar (Brazil)
and several more to be announced.
The performances will be on February 12, 13, and 14, 2015, right here:
Esplanade Studios
2540 Esplanade Ave.
New Orleans, LA 70119
We'll be playing two shows per night, an early one (7:00pm) and a late one (9:30pm). Before and after each set, there will be a reception with free drinks where the band, some of the artists, and the audience can all hang together and meet.
A ticket gets you:
- a seat at one set (with headphones provided)
- entrance to the pre and post show reception
- discounted or free entry to the official after-party concerts each night in the city
- a free copy of the album upon release
*Remember that this is the weekend before Mardi Gras and hotel availability will be limited. It would be wise to book your accommodation early!
See you in NOLA!
