Asa Broomhall
With the release of his 3rd independent and self produced album, the
momentum keeps building for this talented Guitarist/Songwriter. Asa's powerhouse guitar playing and soaring voice with some tasty blues harp thrown in and a thumping stomp box continues to enchant audiences everywhere.
Asa's unique brand of roots music has taken him from local venues and festivals to touring with national and international artists and performing in the UK, Canada and the USA. And with 3 self funded, independent and self produced releases under his belt, Asa's dedication to his music and his live show is obvious.
So if you fancy a mix of Rock, Folk, Blues and Bluegrass with a dose of mischief, make sure you hear Asa's music and experience one of Australia's best kept secrets, whether it be Solo Acoustic or fronting his powerful Trio, the Asa Broomhall Band.
