About Me

The evolution of how Ashton developed it’s calculated, pop-influenced and professional sound began in South Reno, NV in 2002. Originally a five-piece, Ashton began as a pop-punk outfit echoing groups like the Ataris and The Starting Line. After a number of bassists, drummers and guitarists, Ashton matured into the supersonic concise indie-rock effort they are today.Defined by the variety of influences that affect the end product such as Recover, Jimmy Eat World, Radiohead, Hot Rod Circuit and more, Ashton has always enjoyed fantastic success and support in their hometown of Reno as well as all over the west coast. Fresh off their second release and third west-coast tour, Ashton’s current members include Kraig Morgan on lead vocals and guitar, Vinnie Gravallese on lead guitar, Mike McAnally on bass, and the newest addition Andrew Garcia on drums, Ashton’s energetic and dynamic stage performance and overt professionalism has made them a favorite in Reno’s indie rock scene and throughout the Western United States. Their years of adaptation and development show in their punctual and fervent stage performance. Ashton has played with a wide variety of acts that include Yellowcard, My Chemical Romance, Hellogoodbye, the Mad Caddies,Branston,Halifax, Park, the Stereo, Copeland, Mae, Openhand, Punchline, the Rx Bandits, the Higher and many more. They look forward to writing new material and getting back on the road, drawing an ever larger crowd of increasingly enthusiastic fans into their broad base of support.
