New Orleans-based Basher plays highly improvisational dance music with the energy of a punk band and a free jazz spirit, propelled by two drumsets, analog synthesizers and two saxophones. Led by saxophonist and composer Byron Asher, Basher has garnered the adoration of the New Orleans creative music scene with its combination of danceable grooves, anthemic melodies, and wild clash avant garde leaning acoustic and electronic textures. They've been playing listening rooms, dive bars, night clubs and train tunnels across the South since 2017 and are fresh off a performance at New Orleans' Smoothie King Center arena performing an NBA halftime show. Basher features top creative musicians in New Orleans, including multi-instrumentalist Aurora Nealand (Royal Roses, The Monocle, Tim Berne), synthesist and pianist Daniel Meinecke (Quiana Lynell), drummer Brad Webb (Extended Trio) and drummer Zach Rhea (Church of the Sacred Ear).
