“vacuum-tight timing and a hot, propulsive energy guaranteed to move any room in the country.” – DC Music Review
Ghost-Note is led by Drummer Robert “Sput” Searight and Nate Werth of Snarky Puppy. Their live shows are a tour de force of funk with dazzling solos and air-tight arrangements that will have you dancing and shaking your head in awe. Their latest recording, 2024’s Mustard n’Onions, received rave reviews from critics and fans alike.
Ghost-Note is an explosion of sound. They feature an expansive roster of musicians representing members of Prince, Snoop Dogg, Erykah Badu, Herbie Hancock, Kendrick Lamar, Marcus Miller, Toto, Justin Timberlake, and more. This band is pushing funk music into the future. Further, they build on the pioneering foundations laid out by the likes of James Brown and Sly & the Family Stone. They infuse their fresh take with Afrobeat, hip-hop, psychedelia, world folklore, and more.
With the release of 2018’s Swagism, Ghost-Note made their mission clear. The album put rhythm at the forefront, with irresistible, heavy-hitting beats underlying the group’s wild, rich music.
The band easily translates this adventurousness into a live setting. Ghost-Note’s live performances are bold and in your face. Here, the group offers up none of the tight-laces pretenses frequently associated with the band’s jazz roots. Moreover, the band is focused on creating seductive, danceable grooves and contagious feel-good energy. Thus, each show is an opportunity to let loose and connect, for both fans and musicians alike.
After forming in 2015, Ghost-Note has already taken the world by storm. The group’s studio albums have earned critical acclaim and popular success around the globe. Further, both albums hit the Number One spot on the iTunes Jazz Charts. Additionally, they have performed at high-profile international music festivals and events around the world.
