CAPLIVE: GHOST-NOTE
Headed by Snarky Puppy’s multi-Grammy-winning percussion duo of Robert “Sput” Searight and Nate Werth, Ghost-Note is an explosion of sound featuring an expansive roster of next-level musicians who have backed up such A-list talent as Prince, Snoop Dogg, Erykah Badu, Herbie Hancock, Kendrick Lamar, Marcus Miller, Toto, Justin Timberlake and others. Pushing funk music into the future and building on the musical foundations laid by the likes of James Brown and Sly & the Family Stone, Ghost-Note infuses its fresh take with hints of Afrobeat, Hip Hop, Psychedelia, World Folklore and more.
Ghost-Note’s live performances are fearless, bold and in your face. Focused on creating seductive danceable grooves and a contagious feel-good energy, each show is an opportunity to let loose and connect, for both fans and the musicians alike.
