"If the Tempe music scene had a hall of fame, Stephen Ashbrook surely would have been
inducted.” –The Arizona Republic
Ashbrook's voice - a rolling bass profundo punctuated by a chilling falsetto- delivers tales
of quiet strength and authenticity. A deeply centered stage persona coupled with remarkable
song writing make this Southwest roots purveyor a talent to not to miss!
Stephen Ashbrook career was launched out of Tempe , AZ where he won the Phoenix Tribune's
Best Acoustic Performer 1998 & 2000. The talent of this artist became so widely recognized,
that in the summer of 2000, Ashbrook delivered a command performance for President Bill
Clinton, at the request of the White House.
In Arizona , Stephen recorded American B-Sides with friends from Gin Blossoms, The
Pistoleros and Dead Hot Workshop. After relocating to Oregon , Stephen Ashbrook launched
his promotional campaign for American B Sides from his new home town of Portland . The
incredible response to this Southwestern Singer/Songwriter was swift as press and music
industry watched a national cult following for Ashbrook come alive. Within weeks, the first
single “Rock –n- Roll” was added to regular rotation in both Southern California and Arizona
markets, and earned a First Place prize in the international “Makeastar.com” songwriters
contest. The Phoenix, Arizona New Times dubbed him "Pop tunesmith-extraordinaire," and
credited “Rock –n- Roll” as a “bona fide classic!” With the 2004 release of the long
anticipated live two disc set, Double Live @ Long Wong’s, the magic of Ashbrook’s live
performance is evident. Stephen continues to tour across the nation and in Europe acquiring
a broad fan base across markets.
Stephen Ashbrook recently completed 10 new tracks with the respected Seattle musician and
producer Pete Droge, who has experienced global fame, both as a solo artist and with The
Thorns. “I knew right away after listening to his demo I wanted to work with him,” claimed
Droge in a recent article. As producer and co-writer on a few songs, Pete Droge pushed
Ashbrook’s music to bold new levels.

didn't get a chance to post yesterday, but the V&P show was fantastic! Little hard to contain myself, but self-control is always a good thing to work on hehe ;^) 21st was a lot of fun too... normally don't get to hang out.
I am so bummed I missed the V&P show... I had a fight with my eyelids last night and they won. Woke up around 2pm and could just roll my upset little self over and go back to bed ;^( so close!! 2 freaking blocks... I'll just blame it on friday night I guess and lack of sleep... See ya soon! for really reals
Been too long man! Kudos for the Mariners song... very cool.
Looking forward to seeing you on the 17th at LAST EXIT... plus, I have a book for you... unless you got it already (which you should have... ) but in the case that you didn't since you are a busy busy independent artist and all of that, I will have one for you - signed and everything.
Stephen... 3 things... (1) I need to know the show dates as you add them so's I can do my magic...(2) Loved the gal that opened for you Sat night (what is her name?) and (3) I'll see you tonight!! ;^)

love your sound, look forward to working with you. We are filming all day today, but we are headed out to Rock Bottom this week, gonna give you a ring before then to see if we can't get together earlier in the day on wednesday. We need to find out what songs you want to fous on before we can begin storyboarding a plan.
Sorry I haven't been able to call you yet, been busier lately than I would like to be, talk to you soon.
We just got a call from Denmark telling us that our foreign exchange student heard what she thought was you on TV. I spoke to her and she heard it on Veronica Mars. It must be in re-runs there. I think its cool that she remembered hearing you while she lived with us. Hope to see you in Feb. I have to work both days so we are not sure if we can make Jerome.
