GYASI : LIGHTNING 100’s Local Artist of the Week here

Gyasi was raised in West Virginia, where his parents bought him a guitar from the local flea market. At the ripe age of six, he began learning how to play; on “23,” he shreds. His ripping guitar solo jolts the listener, adding a bit of overdrive to the eerie arrangement. Gyasi’s voice commands the track as much as his guitar. He sings with an authoritative yet playful tone, reminiscent of Mick Jagger on “Sympathy for the Devil.” – Daniel Mazzerina/LIGHTNING 100

Hot on the heels of his Baby Blue EP from earlier this year, modern-day glam-rock torch-bearer Gyasi is back with this four-track collection anchored by the sprawling title-track “23,” which shows the Nashville-based musician’s musical growth in a remarkably short period.
