We’ve been digging what Cory Wong has been doing for a while now, especially when that involves Sonny T. Stuart Clayton shared this video of him playing along to Wong’s “News to Me,” and Sonny’s awesome bass line. Dig that ’66 Fender Jazz too!

Rebecca Johnson and her band hit the stage at The Beach Club Collaroy in Sydney, Australia, in July. She shared this video from the performance this week, with the band getting down on “Shakey Ground.”

When Snarky Puppy released the first video from their upcoming album, “Empire Central,” a couple of weeks ago, I was pumped. Now they’ve given us another taste of what’s to come with another amazing performance from the record.
