Ghost-Note

A funk powerhouse born from the rhythm section of Snarky Puppy, Ghost-Note is anything but a side project. Led by drumming dynamos Robert “Sput” Searight and Nate Werth, this groove machine delivers high-voltage, party-shaking funk that channels James Brown, Tower of Power, Parliament-Funkadelic, and Sly & The Family Stone—but with a fearless, modern edge. Their all-star lineup features musicians who've played with Prince, Herbie Hancock, Erykah Badu, Kendrick Lamar, and more, blending jazz-funk fusion, hip-hop swagger, and psychedelic fire. With airtight beats, blistering brass, and deep, percolating grooves, Ghost-Note isn’t just keeping funk alive—they’re launching it into the future. Somewhere, James Brown is looking down and smiling.
