Grammy-winning jazz collective Snarky Puppy released a new album, Immigrance, on March 15 and will support the effort with a fall tour that stops at Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater on September 26.
“The idea here is that everything is fluid, that everything is always moving and that we’re all in a constant state of immigration,” Snarky Puppy co-founder Michael League said in a release about the album. “Obviously the album’s title is not without political undertones.”
League appeared as backup in David Crosby’s band during a 2016 show at the recently re-named Capitol Theatre, but this might be Snarky Puppy’s first show in the Bay area since the band played a January 2016 show at The Ritz in Ybor City (diehards remember seeing the Pups at State Theatre the year before and at Crowbar in 2014).
Other Florida shows on the tour include September 25 in Orlando (Plaza Live) and September 24 in Jacksonville (Florida Theatre).
Tickets to the Ruth Eckerd Hall date will go on sale to the public on Friday, April 5 at 12 p.m. EDT. They’ll cost fans $33.25-$125. More information is available via rutheckerdhall.com.
