PORTSMOUTH, N.H., Nov. 29, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Jimmy’s Jazz & Blues Club Features Critically Acclaimed Funk & Fusion Ensemble GHOST-NOTE, headed by Snarky Puppy’s Multi-GRAMMY® Award-Winning percussion duo — ROBERT “SPUT” SEARIGHT and NATE WERTH, on Wednesday January 17 at 7:30 P.M. Ghost-Note musicians represent members or former members of Prince, Snoop Dogg, Erykah Badu, Herbie Hancock, Kendrick Lamar, Marcus Miller, Toto, and More!
After forming in 2015, GHOST-NOTE began to take the world by storm. The group’s 2 studio albums—2018’s Swagism and 2015’s Fortified—have earned critical acclaim and popular success around the globe, with both albums hitting the #1 spot on the iTunes Jazz Chart. Furthermore, the ever-growing family of musicians have mounted successful headlining tours in the United States, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and Japan, while performing at high-profile international music festivals and events across the globe!
With the release of 2018’s album, Swagism, Ghost-Note made their mission clear. The album puts rhythm at the forefront, with irresistible, heavy-hitting beats underlying the group’s wild, rich music. The album featured numerous guest collaborators, including Kamasi Washington, Bobby Sparks, Karl Denson, Nigel Hall, Brandon “Taz” Neiderauer, and many others. Swagism showcases the band’s stunning ability to meld and amplify sounds, ultimately adding to Ghost-Note’s sharp, complex collaborations.
Fearless, the band easily translates this adventurousness in a live setting. Ghost-Note’s live performances are bold, with the group focused on creating seductive grooves and a contagious feel-good energy. Ghost-Note will be releasing their next album in 2024.
ROBERT “SPUT” SEARIGHT joined Snarky Puppy around 2006, first as a keyboardist and then as a drummer and has received 3 GRAMMY® Awards with the ensemble. In addition to co-founding Ghost-Note, he joined Toto in 2020 as the band’s drummer and in 2022 he toured with the band on the “Dogz of Oz” tour.
