Snarky Puppy at Hill Auditorium

Ever since we found Snarky Puppy on YouTube a while ago, we always wanted to see them live. There was a brief opportunity last year when I checked the concert dates and noticed that they were playing in Hannover the next day! However, it was during the week and work was pretty intense at the time, so we passed on the opportunity.
This year, while planning the US trip, we saw on Instagram that they were playing in Ann Arbor in September, so we planned everything around the concert 😅.
Tom and Nancy joined us. The concert took place at the Hill Auditorium, the biggest and maybe oldest concert hall in Ann Arbor. It is really nice inside. We had seats on the highest balcony in the first row. Perfect view.
The concert was great! They played some old songs, but most of them were from the new album. All in all they played for about 2 hours and went all out for the whole concert. We really enjoyed it. However, when it comes to jazz, I'll stick to my rule of thumb: the smaller the venue, the better the experience.

(Video: I did not take any videos during the concert, but at the end I really wanted to capture one of the fantastic drum solos. Unfortunately, Findpenguins only allows 120s videos... so the re-entry of the rest of the band is missing here...)Read more
