The following description was submitted by the event organizer.

Over his past decade-plus of writing, recording, and producing, Tasjan has released four excellent and critically acclaimed solo albums, touring the world on his own and as the guitarist in the New York Dolls. He co-founded and co-wrote all the material for the band Semi Precious Weapons. In 2021, he was nominated for a Grammy for his writing on Yola’s “Diamond Studded Shoes,” and most recently, Tasjan produced Mya Byrne's album Rhinestone Tomboy (Kill Rock Stars Nashville), which helped to establish him as one of the first openly trans artists in Americana Music. 

He’s cultivated a brilliant and outstanding career to date already. But his forthcoming album Stellar Evolution (Blue Élan Records) is just what the title says. Tasjan’s new album is truly the sum of all his diverse accomplishments while heading in a brand-new direction. You can’t put any labels on Stellar Evolution except for it being a career-defining work and a major leap forward for someone who’s never been afraid to push the boundaries of any expectations.
