Snarky Puppy Seattle reviews
Awesome show!
I loved, loved, loved the show at the United Center! The staff were friendly and helpful, and the venue was easy to navigate. Kacey's set was fantastic, especially her cover of Crazy, something I never knew I needed to hear. She was such a nice set to watch. The pace of the show was great too, no sitting waiting too long for anything. Even though I was in the 300 level seats, I could still see Snarky Puppy and their band on stage, and the fact that the B stage was across the room communicated that they wanted to be able to see all their fans and not be rooted to one spot. Their set list, comprised of their songs, One Direction songs, a song they wrote for Ariana Grande, and Fleetwood Mac number, made for a fantastic show. The group can play, that's for sure. They're also very respectful of their audience (and the parents who come), the venue, and the crew that work with them. I went alone because I don't have many friends who listen to Snarky Puppy or Kacey, but honestly the ticket price and venue were too good a deal to pass up to see one of my favorite artists. I regret nothing about this show and loved every minute of it. Keep up the great work Snarky Puppy and Kacey!
