Ashley Sherlock is a Manchester-based singer-songwriter. His original material has been recognized internationally, with the signing of his management contract with Beanix Entertainment in the USA. After several years and hundreds of gigs performing as a solo artist, Sherlock formed a blues rock trio and has been working on an album of new material. Working alongside producer Kenneth Nixon (of Framing Hanley fame) Sherlock’s newly-released EP, Ashley Sherlock, represents a modern take on the blues and country sounds of the Deep South combined with his distinctive vocal range and songwriting style.

Bottom Line

The self-titled album offers up sorrowful guitar sounds with earthy vocals, driven with well-crafted tunes that linger longer. Sherlock explores touch subjects within his tunes. The songs range from hauntingly rootsy ballads, to swampy blues fashioned in the deep south. He exposes is vulnerability in his lyrics and his prowess in the music. “Atlanta” finds Sherlock displaying a solid falsetto side of his singing. “Run” is blues selection that has tasty guitar work, strong vocals and a melody that will stick to your ear bones. Each tune takes the listener through Sherlocks’ world and cast by his richly hued vocals. That’s the short of it!
