Wasia Project at 7th Street Entry (10 Oct 2024)

On a gorgeous fall evening in downtown Minneapolis at the famous 7th St. Entry at First Avenue, UK sibling duo Wasia Project played to an all-ages sold-out crowd. The stellar jazz duo, with a drummer (Luca Wade) and bass (Tom Pacitti), got the crowd moving right from the get go.



Pianist William Gao was mesmerizing on keys and has a very distinctive vocals, similar to the likes of Damon Albarn (Blur), Honne, and Lightspeed Champion. He showed off all night on the piano but gave us a great blend of soothing melodic vocals with his big hit “To Get Better”.



Sister and lead vocalist Olivia Hardy could be the next Adele or Amy Winehouse, she absolutely blew my mind with her enchanted voice and stage performance. Hardy played all her hits “Takes Me Back Home” and “Is This What Love is.”



Engaging the crowd all night with her infectious smile, Olivia graced us all with Jazzy-infused vibes. Wasia and company gave us a nice two-song encore, with arguably my favorite track “Impossible”, of the 2022 release How Can I Pretend?.



They’ve had quite the ride recently, touring with the likes of Tom Odell and Laufey across the states and Europe. Wasia Project just released their second EP Isotope. After a few West coast dates, they head back to the UK before taking a nice break for the holidays.

Sabrina Sterling opened and was her very first tour playing shows.
