Owen Snider Quartet

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.
