Snarky Puppy Portland reviews
Extremely disappointing
The concert had many people eager to hear Snarky Puppy perform their hit songs. However, they ended up spending too much time on songs from their new album, which most fans probably haven't heard or care about. Due to a power outage that shortened the concert, we missed out on hearing the majority of the songs we were looking forward to. This situation left the audience feeling cheated and deserving of some form of compensation. It's disappointing when the venue and artist take a "tough luck, keep the money" stance, as it's not customer-friendly.
