In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. Ash Avenue is an alternative rock band from Chicago formed in 2004 when longtime friends and former bandmates Rob Merz, Jim Brennan, and Chad Noyes decided to return to the music scene finding John Alletto on vocals.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Guster, Keep It Together Snow Patrol, Eyes Open The Killers, Hot Fuss Ash Avenue had a lot of similarities to these three albums, which came out around the same time: Guster, Snow Patrol, and The Killers. These three bands were highly regarded, and Ash Avenue was compared to them due to their similar sound and style.
Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Blonde & Blue” Blond & Blue is a good song live for Ash, but also a connection to a friend. It takes us back to a time in our lives playing in this band, living in the City, surrounded by friends & fans, creating something meaningful not just for us, but for them.
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? That would be some of the opening opportunities or supporting we had being in Ash. Opened up for Third Eye Blind, Fast Ball, Firehouse, The Guess Who, and lots of regional touring acts on small labels. Performing is way more fun!!
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? For bucket list for Ash Avenue- would be to just play a show once in awhile. Once a year would be perfect. The band still has a lot of loyal fans and friends.
