Dan Ashby
Im Dan. Born in Salt Lake City, and raised in San Mateo, CA. I spent the better part of my childhood eating my vegetables and doing my homework. In a despreate attempt for some attention, I picked up the guitar in high school and began focusing all my time into it. For the past 3 years I have been writing my own music. I was fortunate to play in an amazing band named Table For One. If you havent heard of them, check them out now! Sadly, I had to make the difficult decision to leave the band and go to school in Utah. Now I am back on my own starting up some new projects.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Yes! I love playing. I play in San Francisco, Oakland, and Utah. Most memorable venue would have to be The Pound in the Hunters Point of San Fran. This is the most ghetto and scariest place you can find in the Bay Area. The venue was totally decked out in Death Metal decoration. It was an odd fit, yet it was a pretty fun show.
Also like to throw acoustic shows in Round Table. I had my first gig there, and as a man of tradition, I like to throw parties there occasionally.
I also like the Muse and Veloure in provo. Both are kinda small but pretty sweet little area to throw a show.
Your musical influences
Dave Matthews Band all the way. Perhaps a little John Mayer and Coldplay.
What equipment do you use?
Yamaha Acoustic-Electric, Ibanez Acoustic-Electric, Yamaha 500 watt PA system, digi-tech effects pedal
