This dynamic duo has been together for 4 years now playing the Keene New Hampshire area. They make fun, sincere music that anyone can relate to. They are currently working on their first full length album and are hoping to finish it in a few months. WE'LL KEEP YOU POSTED ON THE CD RELEASE. until then enjoy the downloads on this site, we'll try to update them as we can.
The group-
Ashley Arnott (Vocals, Piano) , of Holliston Massachusetts, and Zack Knauer (Guitar, Vocals), of Hydeville Vermont met as freshmen at Keene State College in Keene New Hampshire. They were introduced through a mutual friend, and began hanging out and occaisionally played music together. For fun they wrote a song together and performed a few times together at open mic nights. From there they became more and more involved in the music and developed a reputation around campus. Since then they have spread their music beyond the college campus into the Keene area and elsewhere.
The Music-
Ash & Zack's music has been described in many ways. This can be attributed to their many influences. Both Ash and Zack love all types of music and bits and pieces of their favorite types find their way into their own music. The best way to sum up the style is by saying they have a broad range. They can pull off most styles of music and can merge different styles quite nicely as well.
Here are some comments from articles and other such things to show what some others think about Ash & Zack:
"The duo began to play, with Knauer playing guitar and providing back-up vocals. The music was put together nicely, and the two really seemed to know how to pair with the other. 'Their voices match really well,' said one audience member." Keene Equinox
"Arnott has a very clean and pure voice, with a kind of quiet power behind it that captured any listener. With her voice soaring, Knauer's backup provided a solid layer beneath, and the outcome was magical" Keene Equinox
"Among the covers they selected was a heart-felt version of "Wild Horses" by the Rolling Stones. The melody and the lyrics of this song are already so powerful, that it is hard for anyone covering the song to make it any better, with Zack and Ashley, it happened. Arnott's little improvisations and grace notes around the melody were very well done, and the song was quickly one of the best they did on that afternoon." Keene Equinox
Yes we play live as much as we can. We play mostly around the Keene New Hampshire area, but in other places all around New England including gigs in Maine, and many in Vermont. WE LOVE IT!!! performing is one of the things we love most about the whole music experience.
There are too many to even name any of them. Both Ash and Zack love all types of music and bits and pieces of their favorite types find their way into their own music.
Your standard stuff, guitars pianos etc. Zack mostly plays a Gibson j-180ec acoustic/electric.
We record with a boss roland br532 and a drum machine.
