2023 Grammy Award-Winner for Best Contemporary Instrumental Album

Four time Grammy Award-winning, fusion-influenced jazz band Snarky Puppy has built a loyal following with their adventurous blend of jazz, rock and funk based around a heavy touring schedule and live-in-studio video content. A rotating roster of some of the most talented musicians and multi-instrumentalists makes for a truly unique sound within the jazz fusion world. Their new live-in-studio audio and visual album, Empire Central, is a love letter to Dallas, representing Snarky Puppy returning to their funk, gospel roots. For the first time in the band's history, the album will be mixed in Dolby Atmos and the feature-film will be treated in Dolby Vision. Accompanying the album will be a limited-series podcast in partnership with Osiris Media, documenting the songwriting and recording process.
