Aces High

Granville's Finest for blues, soul and rock n roll

About Me

Who is Aces High?
Aces High is Granville, Ohio’s finest for the Blues, Soul and Rock and Roll. Widely regarded as one of the Columbus area’s best young bands, Aces High has shared billing with Columbus Blues great (and 2007 IBC champ) The Sean Carney Band, and Arnett Howard. The Granville Sentinel has also called them "Granville’s Hottest Band." In June 2008, the band was invited to participate in the first annual "Young Rising Stars" contest at the Gahanna Creekside Jazz & Blues Festival, finishing in first place.
Aces High burns its own brand of blues, mixing classic tunes with a modern touch, as well as highly danceable original material. Their lineup is:
Matt Harshbarger - Drums
Matt Brown - Drums
Blake Kishler - Harmonica, Trombone, Vocals
Ben Thomas - Vocals, Guitar
Anthony Severyn - Vocals, Guitar
Ben Jones - Bass
Kelly Swope - Keyboards
The group is currently touring Ohio and has released two live albums, "Nine Times Out of Ten" (Dec. 2006) and a double-disc set, "The Lake Effect," recorded during a show in Holland, Michigan. If you want a rocking show filled with solid Blues, Soul and Rock and Roll, Aces High doesn’t disappoint.
More information (performing schedule, pictures of live shows, streaming audio and more) can be found at the band’s website, www.aceshighblues.com . NOTE: Website temporarily down, will be back up very soon on a different host!
