SCENE 5 FEBRUARY 2015 ROBERT “SPUT” SEARIGHT AND NATE WERTH OF SNARKY PUPPY BY MEGAN ARNS narky Puppy is one of the funkiest, Sgrooviest, most talented bands on the scene right now. They are a quasi-collective of musicians based in Brooklyn, New York who play an infectious mixture of jazz, funk, and world music. Led by bassist/guitarist/ composer/arranger Michael League, Snarky Puppy won a 2014 Grammy Award for their rendition of Brenda Russell’s song “Something” from their live studio album Family Dinner – Vol- ume 1. The group’s two core percussion- ists, Robert “Sput” Searight and Nate Werth, are accomplished, versatile musicians with a true passion for what they do. After seeing them live a few months ago, I was impressed not only by their technical prowess, but also by their ability to communicate in such an effective way through rhythm, while still blending with the rest of the band. I was able to catch Sput and Nate while they were in between NAMM and a rehearsal for their new- est side project, Ghost-Note, to chat about the genesis of Snarky Puppy, what it was like to win a Grammy, their dedication to the next genera- tion of musicians, the excitement of live studio recordings, and more.

It will be easier for the percussionists to communicate timing, phrasing, and blend if they are next to each other and can maintain both audio and visual contact. 2.) Problem: There is too much extraneous noise made when accessory instruments are handled because they are on a shelf, table, or chair.
