GYASI at Saxon Pub
Pronounced Jah-see, Gyasi seems in many ways to spring from another planet, and being raised in the woods of a West Virginia holler might as well be another planet in this day and age. He approaches his music as an all-encompassing art piece, immersing himself in the creation and portrayal of his music. Inspired by wide range of music and culture both past and present, Gyasi is fueled by an undeniable passion to bring rock n roll into the 21st century. The four tracks from his new Baby Blue EP manage to tap into the true essence of rock ’n’ roll, while also channelling the flamboyant likes of Bolan and Bowie in equal measure. Gyasi is a modern rock star like no other.
