Featuring styles ranging from latin, to reggae, to pop, to folk-rock, to funk, all the way to a Beach Boys send-up, Ashley Newall’s new “LIVE” EP covers a ton of musical terrain. John Lennon fans will enjoy the soaring ballads, Barenaked Ladies fans will enjoy the comedic ditties, and dance fans will enjoy the laid back/deep-cut grooves.

The Ashley Newall Band features Brian Simms (Tara Holloway, Sarah Hallman), Jack MacGregor (Fleshpaint), Neil Gerster (Melissa Laveaux, Urban Aesthetics) & Adam Fogo (Wax Mannequin, Gammahoochie) & was formed in Ottawa in 1998. Ashley has played high profile shows all over Ontario, including at Barrymore’s, Zaphod’s & LiVE Lounge (Ottawa), and the Reverb & Clintons (Toronto). Ashley was also recently featured on Rogers TV’s “Ottawa Living”.

Ashley currently hosts Open Stage @ the Georgetown in Ottawa weekly, and recently MC’d the Ottawa Folk Festival Auditions as well as Old Man Luedecke & the Good Lovelies at Ottawa’s Great Canadian Theatre Company. He also recently served as Executive Producer on the live compilation CD, “Sounds of Spring: Gallery Studio’s Concert Series”, featuring a tour de force of Ottawa talent including Ana Miura, Andrea Simms-Karp, David Gaudet, Dave Norris, Meredith Luce, Shannon Rose and the Ashley Newall Band.

Having only just released his “LIVE” EP, Ashley is already hard at work on a new studio EP, due for release in the new year.
