SUMMARY:GYASI Rocks Jilly's with Vanity Crash
DESCRIPTION:\nFri 9/19 @ 8PM\nNashville glam rocker GYASI is about to pop. 
 Although with his talent\, that's no surprise\, but how it happened was le
 ss than a done deal. And now he's coming to Akron with Vanity Crash (tix h
 ere).\n\n“I wasn’t a redneck driving a big old pickup truck\,” he sa
 ys. “I always felt like my masculine and feminine [sides] were equal. So
  embracing that\, writing about that… all that was part of the journey.
 ”\n\nHe worked with Jack White's band on his 2023 T. Rex-meets-Led Zeppe
 lin debut EP Baby Blue\, so Gyasi (his real name\, pronounced Jah-see\, th
 e title of his 2nd album) was ready to break out of his idyllic childhood 
 in the hollers of rural West Virginia\, inspired by Russian neighbors who 
 turned him on to the New York Dolls\, Lou Reed\, and David Bowie. At a you
 ng age\, he was dressing up in girl's clothes and makeup\, and\, yes\, rec
 eiving the regular beat down until he learned to play the guitar. Moving t
 o Boston to attend Berklee College of Music brought him closer to his peop
 le\, then he moved to Nashville\, got married\, had a daughter and has rel
 eased 4 LPs and numerous singles and EPs to critical and audience acclaim.
 \n\n\n\nSpecial guests for the evening couldn't be more perfectly suited t
 han Cleveland's own Vanity Crash\, born onstage in an explosion of flash a
 nd fury as the featured band in Hedwig and the Angry Inch. Five releases l
 ater\, Vanity Crash has been dressing up and throwing down with eye-poppin
 g synchronized light shows\, outrageous stage costumes and provocative att
 itude\, opening for the likes of the New York Dolls\, Poison\, the Darknes
 s and Gogol Bordello. Their rigorously researched annual live presentation
 s on David Bowie are legend in the region\, performing to sold out houses 
 and featuring original music paired with Bowie deep cuts\, rarities and ba
 ngers.\n\nTickets: https://www.tickpick.com/organizer/event/gyasi-wsg-vani
