Ghost-Note, the musical brainchild of multi-Grammy Award-winning artists Robert “Sput” Searight and Nate Werth, are officially hitting the road this fall. With stops in major cities across North America–including Memphis, TN; Chicago, IL; Philadelphia, PA; Washington, DC; Atlanta, GA; New Orleans, LA; Dallas, TX; and so many more–Ghost-Note has tapped an impressive crew to join them on tour, including Dywane “MonoNeon” Thomas Jr. (bass), Xavier Taplin (auxiliary keys), Vaughn “V-Keys” Henry (keys), Peter Knudsen (guitar), and Jonathan Mones (alto sax & flute).

After launching their debut record, Fortified, in 2015 to showcase the diverse musical landscape of Dallas, TX, Robert “Sput” Searight and Nate Werth found their identity in the Ghost-Note moniker. This past spring, the Snarky Puppy collaborators headed back into the studio for the follow-up release, Swagism, which garnered a #1 position on the iTunes jazz charts. The current album showcases an evolved sound, elaborating on the sonically powerful and diverse talents of each individual member of the group, and features over 20 guest musicians, including Kamasi Washington, Karl Denson, Nigel Hall, Brandon “TAZ” Niederauer, and many more.
