The West Lafayette band snorb! will be performing at Stumpjack Coffee Co. Saturday, May 22 at 7pm. Snorb! is an award-winning acoustic trio begun in 2004 and known regionally for its progressive original music and its odd and challenging choice of cover songs. Snorb! members include exceptionally talented guitarist Steve Bucklin, whom music critic Tim Brouk described as "One of the most innovative guitarists I have had the pleasure of hearing...with just an acoustic he gets sounds that are almost inhuman," Rhythm guitarist Tyler Gause and upright electric bassist Nick Smith.
2008 saw the release of two snorb! live albums, Past Imperfect and A Present, culminating in Bucklin being named 2008 Guitarist of the Year and Smith winning 2008 Bassist of the Year in the local Lafayette newspaper's, "Rock It," awards. Three consecutive appearances at Lafayette’s summer music series, Mosey on Main Street, followed along with a performance at the Layflats Art & Music Festival opening for Archer Records recording artist, Amy Lavere and a headlining spot at the Lafayette Music Awards. On March 13th, 2010, snorb! released their first studio album, EP!, charting as high as 7 on Amazon's Folk Charts.
Brouk describes snorb! music as "...swirling journeys into the limits of folk music. Think...an acoustic King Crimson."
