Basher is New Orleans’ “free jazz party band” playing highly improvisational dance music with a punk rock energy and a free jazz spirit, propelled by two drumsets, analog synthesizers and two horns. 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 of acoustic and electronic textures. They’ve been playing listening rooms, dive bars, train tunnels, and arenas across the US since 2017. In 2022, they released their new LP “Doubles” on Sinking City Records, which Downbeat gave 4 stars, claiming it “slaps,” and Pitchfork called “unbearably beautiful.”
