Artist description Ashes To Ashes are one of the hardest working bands in music today. Coming out of Pittsburgh, PA, they have risen to the top of the area music scene, and are now ready to unleash their musical fury on other areas of the country. Ashes To Ashes have been voted the top spot in every conceivable category in reader's polls in both of Pittsburgh's major music papers, In Pittsburgh and The Pittsburgh City Paper. Best Band, Best Guitarist, Best Drummer, Best Vocalist, Best Recording ...the list goes on. Ashes To Ashes have appeared with many top national acts, ranging from Bush, Filter, Jimmie's Chicken Shack, Powerman 5000, and Monster Magnet, to a three-day arena tour with Alice Cooper and the Scorpions. Ashes To Ashes have appeared on the main stage at Three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh, PA, at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio, for the Governor's Inaugural Ball in Albany, NY, at the Millennium Music Conference in Harrisburg, PA, on MTV, and even in the Pennsylvania State Correctional Facility, Pittsburgh, PA. They perform an average of 150 to 200 shows per year throughout Pennsylvania and the surrounding area. Famed syndicated sports talk show host Scott Farrell asked Ashes To Ashes to write a theme song for his show, and as a result, the Ashes To Ashes song "Radio Red", as well as two other Ashes To Ashes songs were regularly heard by millions of listeners around the U.S. The group manages to combine infectious, catchy hooks with a modern rock sound that would fit in a wide variety of radio playlists. With a sound reminiscent of bands such as Collective Soul and The Foo Fighers, Ashes To Ashes combines mass commercial appeal with top notch musicianship and high energy shows to win over fans at every venue in which they appear. Surging forward with recent showcases for RCA and Island Records, both performed at New York's S.I.R. Studios, this band is destined for major success in the very near future.
