Sanyasi is a band founded in 2010 by indie rock singer-songwriter Josh Vasa. The band further consists of Brad Lyons (guitars/piano/vocals) and Mac Kramer(percussion/vocals). Vasa is anticipating the release of Sanyasi’s debut EP in May 2011. The name Sanyasi derives from the Sanskrit term meaning, literally, to “lay it all down”. Following several months of intense transition, Vasa’s songwriting became an outlet for a spectrum of emotional response. The result is a collection of songs that musically and lyrically evoke feelings of hope, guilt, freedom, despair, pain, love and resolution.
