It’s here, it’s here, it’s here…

I am SOOO excited. :-)

Today, Snarky Puppy and GroupUP Music just quietly released the Official Trailer to Snarky Puppy's Family Dinner - Volume Two.

I attended the recording of this seminal event in music history back on Valentine’s Day in New Orleans, thanks to:

Nguyen Le: http://www.abovo42.com/nle@abovo42.com and Matt Fraser: http://www.abovo42.com/mfraser@doublepositive.com

Here is a link to the blog post I published on SeanFenlon.com after the event:

A few months back, the band announced that it would not be releasing the recording until early 2016, which only added to the anticipation.

But TODAY we get a sneak peak. YES. :-)
