DAN ASHLEY

Dan Ashley has been passionate about music his entire life. He started as a child with his first guitar and piano lessons and then sang in the junior choir at his church in North Carolina. Summers at the family farm always included music; his grandmother was an accomplished pianist.

As a vocalist, Dan has led his band for many years, headlining great venues and opening for artists such as REO Speedwagon, Cheap Trick, Eddie Money, Rick Springfield, Patti LaBelle, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, and Melissa Etheridge. Dan has shared the stage with many great performers, including Dionne Warwick, Neal Schon of Journey, Brad Gillis of Night Ranger, and multiple Grammy winner Narada Michael Walden, among many others.

As an accomplished singer, Dan is regularly asked to perform the National Anthem at various events, including those of the NBA, Major League Baseball, college football, and professional hockey. With a unique blend of Americana and Rock and Roll, Dan brings a distinctive voice and unique life experience to his music. Dan is always the storyteller who shares the joys, heartbreaks, loves, and losses that are part of our shared humanity. Backed by a group of remarkable musicians who have played and toured with an impressive list of major artists, Dan is thrilled to share his music with audiences everywhere. In addition to enjoying Dan’s music, his many fans can watch him every weeknight on ABC7 News in San Francisco, where he has anchored the evening news for three decades.
