Ghost-Note performing live is a dazzling experience with no less than eight masters of funk, spearheaded by drummer Robert ‘Sput’ Searight and percussionist Nate Werth. Together they are at the heart of the successful fusion formation Snarky Puppy. In Ghost-Note they collaborate with members from the bands of Prince, Erykah Badu, Herbie Hancock, Kendrick Lamar. They expand the boundaries of funk, with influences from afrobeat, hip-hop and psychedelia.
After forming in 2015, Ghost-Note has taken the world by storm. The group’s two studio albums—2018’s Swagism and 2015’s Fortified—have earned critical acclaim and popular success around the globe, Now they return with Mustard N’ Onions, which proves that the band represents a growing family of musicians. The original mission remains the same: Ghost-Note is pushing funk music into the future, building on the pioneering foundations laid out by the likes of James Brown and Sly & the Family Stone.
