BIG EARS FESTIVAL

Tashi Wada

Sun   Mar   30   2025 - 2:00 PM Regas Square

“Wada’s music embodies this spirit of reinvigoration by existing in a perpetual state of emergence.” – Bomb Magazine

Los Angeles-based musician Tashi Wada works within a heady, intergenerational slipstream bridging storied East and West Coast art music institutions, and the DIY experimental scenes that emerged in the 2000s and 2010s. Between recording and performing with his creative and life partner, Julia Holter, and running his record label Saltern, Wada has carved a unique path as a forward thinking composer alongside a tight network of collaborators, drawing on diverse influences and exchanges. Wada’s new album for RVNG Intl., What Is Not Strange?, strips away preconceptions of the scope of his music, presenting complex, pop-informed compositions that bristle with joy.
