Wasi

Wasi Townsend's voice has been described as a force of nature - earthy and airy, soft and wild. Like a breath of fresh air and the roar of the ocean. He's stepping out on his own after over 12 years with Houston bands Hueman and, most recently, Snowshoe and Lewis.Delivering positive messages about the awesomeness of creation and the oneness of us all, Wasi proclaims - "I want to be larger than life, and then show people that we are all the same." The paradox of greatness wrapped in humility is a theme that spans his writings as he ponders the infinite limitlessness of our universe and our inherent fear of realizing our true selves.He is not your ordinary rock star, but he rocks nonetheless. His soon to be released solo recordings are a breathtakingly rich musical odyssey. Wasi is currently applying his wizardly touch in his home studio on electrified versions of his acoustic work and a ceaseless stream of new creations. Take a peak at his Myspace page. Feel the elements - the seductive bass lines, stirring guitar melodies and passionate vocals - weave an exotic dream world, fusing rock, jazz and soul with a splash of hip hop. Come and listen to truly experience the sound of this humble musician's soul.Wasi recently ended his stint at Dean's in downtown Houston where every Thursday he and Hueman opened the doors with emotionally charged acoustic versions of their original work, as well as some familiar covers. Wasi and Hueman are taking the Songwriter's Workshop on the road. Check out the latest showdates and music also at Hueman's Myspace. brbr
