Singer/Songwrite, Ashley Best, is son of a coal miner, the last of four children and raised on the top of a hill above the very small town of Little York, Ohio. Ashley was raised there until the age of 14, where he enjoyed fishing in strip ponds surrounding the region and watching local farmers farm the land. He grew up listening to the country radio station that his mother played while cooking, baking and washing dishes. At 14, he moved with his family to Cadiz, Ohio, onto what would become their family farm. His father's vision for the family was to build a dairy farm out of abandoned, forgotten land. While building their house, Ashley listened to the radio, falling in love with the sounds of Dwight Yoakam, Marty Stuart, and Travis Tritt. It didn't take long for Ashley to realize that's what he wanted .... HIS voice coming from a radio.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;When Ashley was growing up, he listened to his Grandpap Howell (who died when Ashley was 4 yrs. old) singing on a reel-to-reel recorder. But once he heard Dwight Yoakam &amp; Buck Owens perform "Streets of Bakersfield," he started researching the "Bakersfield Sound.” Ashley had a desire to take the "Bakersfield Sound” and twist it with "Rockabilly" and natural "Hillbilly" twang.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Ashley started crafting his writing ability at age 16. At age 28, Ashley became a widow after the sudden death of his first wife. Ashley then found&nbsp; at that time that writing came easier and was almost therapeutic. Being the widowed father of two young daughters, it didn't take long for Ashley to start feeling the pressure and reality of life without his wife and found some relief through writing. In fact, while sitting on the porch listening to the wind blow through the trees, hung over from the night before, and feeling like no matter what, nothing was ever gonna work out, he wrote "Nothing Ever Seems To Do." The wind and trees whistled a tune to him and from those sounds the song was written in a matter of minutes. Ashley started performing the songs he was writing in local Honky Tonks up and down the Ohio River Valley. Soon, alcohol took over and took control. Ashley laid down his guitar and let his dream of music go. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In 2010, Ashley remarried and went home to his family farm where he and his new bride started milking cows. However, the crash of the milking industry in 2014 led to Ashley and his wife having to sell out the Dairy herd.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Things happen for a reason and old habits die hard. It wasn't long before Ashley picked up his guitar and started writing and performing again, only this time he was sober! Ashley started recording "I Believe" in the Spring of 2018, releasing it in August of that year.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Where the story ends for Ashley Best and his musical dreams remains unknown. One thing he learned from his father is this that nothing is impossible as long as you keep working at it and BELIEVE. So, his continues ...&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; He released his debut EP, "I Believe," in 2018 receiving two #1 hits with his singles "Nothing Ever Seems To Do" and "Cowboy," on the Country Charts of National Radio Hits and Independent Music Network. Ashley received the "2019 Favorite New Discovery Artist"&nbsp; award from Independent Music Network.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Ashley Best released his album, "Something," in January of 2022. "Something" was immediately nominated for "Country Album of the Year" by The Josie Music Awards going up against the top studios, top songwriters, top producers out of Nashville &amp; New York. A total of 52,420 Albums were submitted for this Award and only 15 were chosen as nominees, "Something" by Ashley Best was one of them.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;October 30, 2023 he released a video for his original song "You Make Me" off the album "Something".&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Ashley Best isn't Country, he isn't, Rock n Roll, he isn't Rhythm &amp; Blues, him &amp; his band are all of these rolled into one. If you are looking for a band that will punch you in the gut, kick you in the mouth, then reach in and rip your heart out then you've got to experience&nbsp; Ashley Best &amp; the Set 'Em Up Band!
