Notorious for casting convention aside, and remaining one of the UK’s most forward-thinking and rule breaking live bands, Red Snapper embrace a unique blend of live, euphoric instrumental Afro-Jazz, Future Funk, Dub, Dark Hip-Hop, and fragile soundscapes. For two and a half decades they have been folding these ingredients into passionate live shows and a unique listening experience.
“The only unsurprising thing about Red Snappers creative journey is their unswerving commitment to progression and innovation”.
