Tim Ash Artist Visit
Tim Ash visited the MusicRow offices recently and performed songs from his album, Up On Blocks, which will release on Oct. 15.
The singer-songwriter comes from a family of musicians. He learned to play guitar, piano bass and drums by ear and counts the Eagles and Bad Company among his influences. Though he grew up with a passion for music, it was an accident that was the catalyst for Ash to pursue music as a full-time career. While previously working as a pipefitter, Ash was pinned under a half-ton of steel that fell from his work truck. Sixteen months of therapy and rehabilitation followed before his life returned to normal, but Ash used the experience to further concentrate on his music.
During his MusicRow visit, Ash performed a selection of songs, including “Slow Burn” (penned by Bryan Simpson), his current single “Broke” (penned by Ashley Gorley and Bryan Simpson) and “Jesus and Johnny Cash,” a song Ash says is inspired by his father.
Ash first made the trek to Nashville 10 years ago and now lives in Evansville, Ind. with his wife and five children. He is currently on a radio tour.
