Influenced also by an eclectic mix of soulful songwriters and alternative bands, the result is an ensemble sound that is captivating and truly unique. The group features:

Robin Porter – Saxophones

Aspyrian’s recent single releases have seen thousands of streams and have been selected for multiple prominent jazz playlists. Their recently released second album will be followed with an 11-date UK tour around prestigious venues on the jazz circuit.

Previous performance highlights include a sold-out show at the 2022 EFG London Jazz Festival as well as an 8-date UK tour in 2023, with shows at Pizza Express Live and The Jazz Centre UK. Aspyrian’s debut album release – ‘to explore (vol. 1)’ – demonstrates the trio “creating a distinctive and expressive sound” and “[evokes] the freedom of spirit through their combined writing and performing.” (Mike Gates, UK Vibe).
