Once known for her trademark ukulele Asher’s plucky nylon string guitar remain true to her unique folk style, “her tense little ditties hiding in the corner of my heart where I keep Daniel Johnston, Iron and Wine and Elliot Smith.” (Columbus Alive)   The two track single, This Little Bird was recorded at Candyland Studios in Dayton, Ky along side producer Mike Montgomery who also adds guitar to the track Take Me and Kate Wakefield (Lung) who adds her cello and emotive vocals to Heaven (is already here).   Inspired by the change of season, both in nature and life This Little Bird marks Asher’s first release since her move to the greater Cincinnati area. Asher, who spent time in Columbus, Ohio before a ten year stent in the hills of Kentucky draws from her insatiable interest in the human condition, transforming her experiences into ballads of resurrection, rebirth and hope.
Chris Castle has shared stages and studios with some legendary Americana acts, including: Garth Hudson (the Band), Tommy Ramone (the Ramones), Chris Hillman (the Byrds), and Larry Campbell (Bob Dylan, the Black Crowes). The Day’s Rick Koster calls him a “tunesmith of almost scary vision, narrative acumen and hooky instinct” adding “writing songs is utterly programmed into his DNA”. Castle’s latest album, Long Way to the Bottom, was produced by Campbell, and features some of his finest songs to date. He’s currently dragging a trunk-full of originals across the eastern half of the US, playing solo and duo shows.
