Snarky Puppy Joined By Jennifer Hartswick, Natalie Cressman & Mike Dillon At AURA

The final day of this year’s AURA Music & Arts Festival at the Spirit Of The Suwannee Music Park in Live Oak, Florida was stacked. We’ve already reported on guest-filled and cover-heavy performances from The Heavy Pets paying tribute to the ’80s and the Disco Biscuits welcoming Tom Hamilton to honor the Grateful Dead. Jazz-fusion band Snarky Puppy also played a set at AURA this past Saturday and embraced the collaborative spirit of the event.

Snarky Puppy’s set included takes on “Gx” featuring Mike Dillon and “Quartermaster” with special guests Jennifer Hartswick and Natalie Cressman. The recent Grammy winners also treated AURA festivalgoers to hot versions of “Terova,” “Whitecap,” “What About Me,” “Shofukan” and more. The CHeeSeHeaDPRoDuCTioNS team captured video of Snarky Puppy’s entire performance minus the start of the set. Take a look:
