“Alex Ashley’s songwriting takes you inside yourself and then out, impressing the beauty and danger of the complex world we live in…” —NPR

Alex Ashley may hail from a small harbor town in the Pacific Northwest, but the sounds of Laurel Canyon, the Deep South, and the American Heartland collectively rush from him like a torrent. 

Compared to Jackson Browne and “a young Vince Gill,” Ashley takes us on a sonic journey from the church house to the juke joint; an electrifying amalgam of poignant storytelling, incendiary guitar playing, and honeyed vocals with a hint of smoke. 

The singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist has been invited to share the stage with legendary artists such as 23-time Grammy Award winner Vince Gill, Jethro Tull’s Martin Barre, Joe Pug, Tyler Hilton, Nashville icons The Time Jumpers, jazz crooner Nicolas King, JD Simo, and others.
