ASHRR DEBUT MODERN AGE OF DARK NEW WAVE WITH “MEDICINE MAN”

2 mins read

Singer / Songwriter Steven Davis and Artist / Producers Ethan Allen and Josh Charles aren’t new to the music world, what with all having extensive and impressive histories behind the scenes, but their newly formed project, ASHRR, is creating a sound that is anything but old. With flavors of David BowieDepeche Mode, and Nine Inch Nails, among others, there’s a definite retro vibe layered with thoughtful lyrics, unique orchestration, and a mix of electronic and traditional instrumentation, all brought together with solidly modern production qualities. From what we’re told, there’s much to expect from the trio in the near future, and while not all of it is as dark or introspective as their debut single, “Medicine Man,” it’ll be nonetheless as nostalgic and innovative.

“A dark crooner who lives in the shadows and through his words reveals the deepest insight into the human condition. A sound likened to Bowie, Depeche Mode, and NIN – mystery, darkness, drama, intrigue…A voice that mesmerizes you with its power and authority but seduces you into the world of Ashrr”

Steven comes from a fascinating musical pedigree ranging from his Midwestern church roots singing gospel to his booming career as a professional adult musician. Select highlights include headlining residencies at NYC’s esteemed Rainbow Room; sharing the stage with icons as Tony Bennett and Diana Krall; and co-writing with pop legend John Oates. His originals have been featured in movies and TV including the title track to “Just Getting Started” and co-writes with John Oates. He has over 500k plays on Spotify.
