Alex Ashley

“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’s Americana is a sonic journey from the church house to the juke joint—a crossroads where Deep South swagger meets Heartland grit, and echoes of Laurel Canyon find new life.

With honeyed, smoky vocals and incendiary guitar work, the Americana/Soul artist has drawn comparisons to Jackson Browne and “a young Vince Gill,” yet his music is unmistakably his own. Born on the salt-swept shores of the Pacific Northwest, his roots stretch far deeper than the soil beneath him: inseparably tethered by his mother’s side to the Deep South; and by his father’s side to a rich African-American legacy borne out in the American Heartland. 

Ashley has shared stages with some of music’s most storied figures, including 23-time Grammy™ winner Vince Gill, Jethro Tull’s Martin Barre, Joe Pug, Tyler Hilton, Nashville icons The Time Jumpers, and JD Simo.
