Synrgy @ Ashkanez Part 2
Vibing all the way from Humbolt County is a band equipped with a sensational sound pleasing audiences everywhere. Synrgy brings a different type of energy with their Soulful Reggae music. Yes, Soul & Reggae may be a simple concoction that Synrgy has managed to blend, but its side-affects are nothing short of the ordinary, its sublime.
Brian’s soulful voice accompanied by the union of passionate musicians make up the serene sounds of Synrgy. From the beginning of their set to the end I was on my feet swaying and engaged by their performance. By the time they performed “Summertime” I was already bobbing my head, lightly pumping my fist with my drink in one hand, eyes closed and a smile on my face. Theres a sense of tranquility that their presence brings as they navigate through the groove and perform their songs. “Embrace The Change” brought in steady rocker vibes with its heavy bassline and riffs. Meanwhile, Toots and The Maytals were brought to mind as they performed their island driven tune “Cast Those Stones” - a song that provided a dancey atmosphere woven with a deep message about love & forgiveness which is something that I’ve always appreciated about Reggae music and a quality that Synrgy exemplifies in their music.
Synrgy provides wholesome music you can dance to, a message that you can glean from, and a passion that you can appreciate. Though Ahskanez may have not been crowded that night, I felt the presence of great music and thats the essence of what makes a great show. Everytime I see a musician bob their head it gives me life. When I hear a singer belt words of life it goes straight to my heart and when the bassline drops I can’t help but nice up the dance. I’m compelled to ramble about these happenings, because its bands like Synrgy that deserve continuing recognition and support so they can continue to fulfill their purpose in spreading good vibes. Be sure to buy their music, stay updated, visit their website, and go to a show near you!
