Details
Drawing from a variety of musical influences, Doug Kleiner‘s song writing and storytelling are often a dark and moody expedition into raw emotions. This wide array of influences is evident on his first solo album, Sing When I’m Down. Evoking elements of ’90s era grunge on songs such as Dark Day and Get By along with the straightforward early ’50s Country sound of the title track, Sing When I’m Down and Tomorrow’s too Soon, Doug pulls inspiration from a wide range of song writers to create his own unique style.
A Band Named Ashes is a progressive folk band from Akron, OH. Forming in an Archwood Avenue basement around brothers Nate (vocals, guitar) and Seth Vaill (keys), were Patrick Lamielle (bass), Gina Wilson (cello), and Kevin Maher (drums), who each joined the band between 2006-2008. Blending influences from across the musical spectrum, ABNA released their first full-length studio album, “Circles”, in 2010, before touring throughout Ohio and the Northeast. In 2013, with a new arrangement of members, ABNA released their second album, “Asleep on These Feet, Again”. Since then, the original lineup is back in the studio working on a third full-length project at Just A Dream Entertainment and The Rialto Theatre (Akron), which are owned and operated by Nate and Seth. Having navigated through some troubled waters, both as individuals and as a group, the bond between members is now stronger than ever since reuniting in 2018. Through the sounds they create together, they invite us all to share in the warmth and joy that music can bring.
