the word from the venue
Ash King is a blues & roots singer-songwriter from Healesville in Victoria.
With his deep powerful voice and funky guitar work, he balances soulful feel and raw energy. Think John Butler meets Johnny Cash at a BBQ and you’re not far off. As a solo acoustic artist and frontman of blues-rock band Smoke Stack Rhino, Ash has taken his high-energy live show around Australia, often having too much fun dancing across the stage with his guitar that he forgets to sing the next verse.
Over the past year Ash has been recording his debut album. His songs have been described as uplifting, honest, thoughtful and fun. ‘I like the saying that “you don’t write the song, the song writes you”’. Ash is an original storyteller, an electrifying performer, and a fresh voice in Australian blues & roots.
