Kevin Asher got his love of performing live by singing Charlie Pride and Beatles songs to the lunch crowd at his dad’s restaurant as a 5-year-old in small town Nova Scotia. This progressed to learning how to play drums and eventually guitar as a teen. Raised on a steady diet of classic rock, folk, country and jazz, Asher has developed a sound that is truly original. Kevin holds a BA in Music from St. Francis Xavier University.
After an 8 year stint in Korea teaching English, Asher moved to Ontario and lived the corporate life. It wasn’t until the end of his marriage where he got back in touch with his musical and rural roots and began to write music again. The music came fast and furious, writing about 100 songs in couple of years.
Through the course of the pandemic Asher kept a frantic pace, releasing his debut album; The Ol’ Rogue Saloon (produced and engineered by Kingston legend Tom Savage) and his latest - First Dawn which released in November 2022 and is available on the streaming platforms and limited edition vinyl. Asher’s latest single, ‘The Way I Feel’, a cover from the great Gordon Lightfoot was released in June 2023.
