Electronic pop duo FYOHNA set to perform at Hotel Utah in San Francisco on April 23rd.

April 10, 2017

The electronic pop duo consisting of vocalist Katarina Gleicher and producer/multi instrumentalist Elliot Glasser are set to perform in San Francisco later this month. They will be playing at Hotel Utah on April 23rd. Founded on the close relationship between its two members, FYOHNA are able to blur the sometimes rigid roles of songwriter, instrumentalist, performer, and producer, each member an equal and flexible part throughout the creation and delivery of a song. Their live performances engage with spontaneous voice-sampling, beat-sequencing, and loop-triggering by each member as they adapt their constructed songs to the stage. Check out their new song Ghost Heart which is off their soon to be released self-titled debut EP on April 28th. We will see if we can bring you coverage of their upcoming show.
