The English Channel Live at Yayo

The English Channel performed live Wednesday night at Yayo Taco Blues. The show began at 9pm. There was a strong loyal crowd of about 25 people as English Channel performed their original songs. The band also gave the crowd a sample of new songs. Also, the entire show was free.

The genre of the band is alternative rock. Some of their original songs they performed were Any Second Now, Saki Sunrise, and Take Me There. The band has an eclectic rock sound mixed in with a hint of blues and reggae.

 One opening act for the band was Just Alliance who gave a great solo performance. This was one-man band style mixed with reggae and soft rock. He played four songs.

The second opening act was a duo. David Varnado and Wes Vernon performed two original songs. David Varnado sung main vocals and Wes Vernon sung background vocals. Wes performed a rap verse in one of the songs. The duo had an R&B and pop style along with Wes’ solo rap performance.

The English Channel members are two best friends: Adam Knaff and Narayan Singh. Adam Knaff rocked the bass guitar and performed the background vocals. Narayan Singh played the guitar and performed main vocals.

 The band also announced that this performance at Yayo Taco Blues would be the last performance before heading back in the studio to record more songs for a new EP. The band started performing at Yayo Taco Blues about six months ago. They have also performed at other venues on and off the Las Vegas Strip.

To capture this experience, I used my Andriod phone and my Kodak 8.1 megapixel camera.  Their remarkable guitar playing and the harmonious vocals created a beautiful intriguing sound. Their stage presence was very inspiring and appealing. The crowd was loud and immersed in all three performances. I loved it. Not only did I enjoy good food at Yayo, but I really enjoyed their performance.
