I have really grown to love this band. They are awesome players, but without pomp and with a lot of heart. Earlier this year they went to play at Jefferson Center in Roanoke VA - to give the place a boost. Officially "The Jefferson Center is a non-profit arts center that is revitalizing a key neighborhood in Roanoke with the restoration of Jefferson High School and the renovation of the Shaftman Performance Hall". What actually happened was that this set REALLY KICKED OFF. It's already legendary, but now there's a CD, DVD and each monday they load a video of them backing the guest vocalists. This was the first one from last monday. Just listen to how SP support Shayna...and God knows how she managed to hold back for as long as she did but by the second chorus she is GONE baby. Stephen Critchley and I had this vid on heavy rotation last monday because there is just so much to take in. Best of all, when the song ends Shayna can't stop! It's a brilliant performance, and sound and filming are also superb (although that is a given with this band). If you don't yet know Snarky Puppy get ready to fall in love...right here we go...
