Gareth Asher - 03/14/09

Gareth Asher brought his powerful voice and medley of popular songs to the Evening Muse Saturday night. It had been a while since I had seen Gareth and I was very much looking forward to this show. He is a very unique singer-songwriter in that his voice is crystal clear, in tune, and booms loud enough to probably not need a microphone! I mean, Gareth can bring the soulful ballad to your ears and your heart!

Gareth shared that many things had been going on in his life over the past several months. He mentioned he is "newly single" to the applause of the ladies in the house - but its obvious that he is not quite so happy about it. On a lighter side he shared with me that he had enjoyed both The Simple Man cruise and the Rock Boat cruise this winter. Lot's of performing, eating, and partying with friends durting those couple of weeks in the Caribbean.

Gareth is working on a new CD. When asked when it would be available, he said "when its done". I guess these things don't happen on a schedule but rather in due time as the various components come together, one song at a time. One thing is for sure - his vocal ability sets him apart from anyone else doing acoustic sets. Not to mention that you won't meet a nicer person.

Listen to a few of Gareths songs at his MySpace page and have a look at a few of his performance videos. You'll want to add his music to your collection - I promise.

Here's a link to a few photos of the show.

Cheers,
