About Me

Gaba Gavi went to college in Boston to learn about business. What he really learned in college was music. Always a fan of song but never a player, Gavi took up the guitar while immersed in the Northeast’s famously hip musical culture. For the Louisville, KY native, the exposure was enough to spark a creative flame that’s now burning blue. The result is The Things We Want To Hear, a slick, forceful debut EP packed with raw emotion and lyrical purity that promises to keep guys like John Mayer and Dave Matthews honest. Gavi’s simplistic guitar style keeps him grounded and chaste, allowing his smooth, refined voice to offer the “curb appeal” that immediately draws a listener’s discerning ear. As much as anything, Gavi’s sophisticated passion for his songs and the messages they relay — as well as his sense of impending progress — is evident from the first line of “Anything But Slow”: I’ve been waiting on the wrong side of comfort/for you to show me how you really feel. On a perfunctory level it’s about waiting for a relationship to blossom; taken deeper, though, Gavi’s announcing his presence, making an entrance, asserting himself as a viable component of modern rock music. Recorded, mixed and produced in a total of five days by Rusted Root’s Liz Berlin (who also makes a guest appearance) at her studio in Pittsburgh, The Things We Want To Hear falls snugly into the pop/alt-rock radio format. It’s also done time in the Top 10 at Louisville’s ear-X-tacy Records, one of the nation’s largest independent music retailers. Look for Gavi traversing the States with his folksy, alternative rock with some regularity in the near future.
