Mercy Seat Presents: Black Audience/GST

In February, Black Audience returns to Mercy Seat Presents. Jayanthi Kyle fronts the band that draws from old gospel music, 60s folk, and anything else they can get their hands on. Behind Jayanthi is Robin Kyle of Valet, Tony Paul (KFAI radio host and MPLS Reggae icon), Jon Davis on bass and bass clarinet, and Doug Anderson on banjo.
The Greg Schaefer Trio will be opening the night. The St. Cloud Times described the jazz trio as “Take the raw approach of punk and apply it to the normally refined genre of jazz music. That’s the essence of Twin Cities instrumental band GST, and a more unlikely musical combination you’re not likely to find.” Punk and jazz.
Mercy Seat Presents is a monthly music series sponsored by Mercy Seat Lutheran Church. We try to wrangle musicians who write music for us and other musicians that we just like, put them together and have a little soiree every month at the Aster Cafe in Northeast Minneapolis.
