Chris Ash AlgoRhythmic Music

Chris Ash is a local singer songwriter from Columbia, SC. Learning how to play guitar in middle school, he wound up setting the guitar down for years to pursue athletics, and later, college and graduate school. Picking up the guitar again as a young adult, he rediscovered his passion for music and joined an all original local band from the mid 90's to the early 2000's, performing and recording whenever possible. Chris continued to learn new cover songs while also writing and refining his own creations. He continues this process to this day, writing, learning, recording, and performing, both solo and with others. His songs have a rootsy, Americana type feel and range from heartfelt ballads to upbeat rocking numbers. His live performances are known for extended sets in which he weaves in and out of several songs at once. Blessed with a bluesy, growling vocal tone, Chris is able to meld to many genres and leans towards classic rock, blues, and country. He currently performs locally and continues to write and record original music.
