Owen Snider’s music is a contemporary vision of jazz guitar, lyrical and exploratory, grounded in groove and harmonic colour. His compositions and improvisations reveal a deep connection to the post-bop and modern jazz traditions, while pushing those ideas forward with fresh rhythmic and melodic nuance.
With influences ranging from Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter to Mark Turner and Joe Henderson, Owen’s compositions reflect a love of both harmony and storytelling. On stage, his playing balances detail and spontaneity, shaped as much by the moment and his bandmates as by the written material.
Owen has performed everywhere from intimate club gigs to festival stages, both as a sideman and as a bandleader. You may have caught him playing here as part of Jonny Liebeck’s quintet last year.
His quartet brings together some of the most talented musicians on the UK jazz scene, including Duncan Eagles on tenor saxophone, Jonny Wickham on double bass, and young drumming sensation Luke McCarthy.
“The addition of guitarist Owen Snider to the Jonny Liebeck Quintet has pushed things to a new level”
“Saxophonist Duncan Eagles holds the stage with his attractively dry tone, sharpness and the urgent ferocity of his tenor improvising”
