Welcome to the music of Ashland

Biography

Intensely individualistic hard rock, blending complex dynamics with driving melodic hooks and a passionate lyrical approach.
Some call it progressive mixed with mainstream rock, but to the ever-growing fan base they call it Ashland. Listen and judge for yourself.

Ashland has been very busy over the last few years from having their song “Mysteries” played on MTV’s Undressed in 2000 to showcasing at Parker’s in Seattle as part of MP3.com’s national tour. Ashland’s popularity has been growing from performances at such fairs and festivals like the Evergreen State Fair and Apple Blossom (Wenatchee, WA) to such Seattle club icons as “The Central”, “Fenix”, “Graceland” (a.k.a The Offramp). Ashland has reached audiences via college and corporate radio through out the Pacific Northwest, local cable shows such as KBTC’s This Ain’t Karaoke and Fog City Productions AT&T cable show “Rising Stars”. Ashland has also been making a splash in the international markets, with airplay and reviews in the Netherlands, Brazil, Germany, United Kingdom, Russia and the U.S.. "The music, with its varied tempos, harmonies and dynamics, is equally well thought out" --Stephanie Simonson (Tacoma News Tribune). "But wait, did I say another prog/metal band? How about the best prog/metal band I've heard in a long time."--Mojo's Metal Monsters & Music Masters. “With rolling drums and some fairly gentle guitar work, before once again being caught up and carried along by a powerful punchy bass line, this song contains some really nice harmonies provided by backing vocals.”--New Horizons

CD’s are currently available in select local music stores, the Ashland website, and a handful of online retailers.
