Two of New Orleans most prominent young singer/songwriters are joining forces on Sunday at Gasa Gasa to showcase their latest recordings. Mikayla Braun and Kathryn Rose Wood will both perform their new releases in their entirety. They also promise musical surprises and special guests to “round out the party.”
Mikayla Braun may be best known around town as the lead vocalist of the Crooked Vines. Her EP, “Synapse,” features music she wrote and recorded since moving to New Orleans five years ago. Kathryn Rose Wood is celebrating the release of her debut solo album, In The Ashes. She formerly performed with her band Social Set and was co-lead vocalist for Gravy Flavored Kisses.
In addition to performing with the Crooked Vines, Braun, who plays ukulele and piano, also fronts her own quartet. Her new EP mines the experiences the young singer has had since relocating and becoming part of the fertile live music scene in New Orleans. The EP arrives in stores nationally on October 10.
Kathryn Rose Wood’s songwriting has received considerable acclaim over the course of her career. She was featured by American Songwriter magazine as their website’s Daily Discovery in 2016 and she hosts and curates a weekly songwriter series, “Lilith in Loa” at LOA Bar in New Orleans. In The Ashes arrives in shops nationally on October 17.
Show time at Gasa Gasa is 8 PM. Tickets are available here.
