Kumasi

Kumasi is the brainchild of Cincinnati-based musician Luke Pace-Scrivener. While working on a solo album with Ben Cochran at Soap Floats Recording, the two decided to put together a band to record and perform some of Luke's more pop-oriented, electric material.

They were lucky enough to welcome two tour-de-forces to the group: Psycho D and Aaron Disney.

The goal from the beginning was simple - let the songs themselves be the deciding force in all things. Because of this, and the ability of the members to play multiple instruments, Kumasi is unrestrained by arrangements, instrumentation, or genre, delivering piano-driven infectious pop ditties, rockers punctuated with screaming guitar, and jazzy grooves filled with horns.

Kumasi knows no bounds, but maintains cohesion through brilliant songwriting and lyricism.
