The two full audio production shows supplied by Adlib were Manchester Apollo and Glasgow Barrowlands. ![]() ![]() Snarky Puppy is a group of constantly rotating musicians (with a core of 6 or 7), so they need a reliable sound company that “understands the nature and needs of a large improvisational group,” and this, plus that excellent history are two major reasons she asked Adlib to be involved in this section of the tour.Īdlib’s Craig Hamilton project managed from the office, working closely with Michael Harrison mixing FOH for this leg, and Matt Reccia on monitors. When she then started stage managing various festivals around the UK and Adlib was the audio provider, she was always confident that “We would have a smooth weekend and that our artists would be well looked after.” The production manager there at the time asked Adlib to design and install the new house PA system, for which they did “an amazing job,” she recalls. Rosanna first met Adlib in 2006, when she was managing popular Manchester live music venue, Band on The Wall.

As with past tours, the band records most of their live sets, available for purchase at Live Snarky. On March 15, 2019, the group released their thirteenth album, Immigrance, and embarked on a 150+ date world tour for the rest of the year in support of that album. Calling them a band rather than an ensemble or even a musical phenomenon is debatable since they never play their songs the same way twice, partly because they have a rotating lineup of musicians on nearly every instrument. From 2014-2017 they earned three Grammy awards most recently Best Contemporary Instrumental album for Culcha Vulcha.
