Chris Ash is a local singer songwriter from Columbia, SC. Learning how to play guitar in middle school, he wound up setting the guitar down for years to pursue athletics, and later, college and graduate school. Chris earned his Ph.D. in School Psychology from The University of South Carolina in 2000 and has worked in Education and Mental Health since that time. Also a single father, he remained busy raising his daughter and enjoying watching her grow up. Picking up the guitar again as a young adult, he rediscovered his passion for music and joined an all original local band from the the mid 90's to the early 2000's; recording and performing whenever possible. Chris continued to learn new cover songs while also writing and refining his own creations. He continues this process to this day; writing, learning, recording, and performing both solo and with others. His songs have a rootsy, Americana type feel and range from heartfelt ballads to upbeat rocking numbers. His live performances are known for extended sets in which he weaves in and out of several songs at once as well as having others jump up to sit in with him on the spur of the moment. Blessed with a bluesy, growling vocal tone, Chris is able to meld to many genres and leans towards classic rock, blues, and country. He currently performs locally and continues to write and record original music. Friendly and outgoing, Chris enjoys meeting new musicians and growing into the local music scene.
