About Asher

I’ve been playing the drums for over 15 years and enjoy playing a plethora of music from progrock, classic rock, jazz, R&B, pop, progmetal, and hip hop. Over the past 6 years I have toured with Jon Anderson of Yes, Banned From Utopia (Frank Zappa's former band members),  Gibby Haynes of the Butthole Surfers, and played at the John Wetton Tribute Show. While touring with Jon Anderson, I’ve played at sold out venues and music festivals in the United States and Europe including Rosfest in Florida, The Egg in New York, Vicar Street in Dublin, Ireland, Sono Music Club in Brno, Czech Republic, and th Burg Herzberg Festival in Breitenbach am Herzberg, Germany. I also had the opportunity to play alongside progrock legends Steve Hackett (Genesis, GTR), David Cross (King Crimson), Martin Orford (IQ), and John Mitchell (Arena, Lonely Robot) at the John Wetton (King Crimson, UK, Asia) Tribute Show. I also play drums in the Asher Blum Jazz Trio and the band Little Sister.

My goal as a drummer is to inspire people the way Carter Beauford (Dave Matthews Band), Bill Bruford (Yes), and John Bonham (Led Zeppelin) have inspired me. I want people to feel good, connect with each other, and have a good time when listening to my music.
