Ashton Allen's songs are honest, and his upcoming release "Dewdrops" is a testimony to that from beginning to end. The 14-song set speaks frankly of Ashton's own humanity, of a pride that battles humility, of loss in search of an explanation and ultimately, but most importantly, of love.

Ashton has a sound that is often compared stylistically to that of Simon and Garfunkel, Elliott Smith, and Kings of Convenience, as his voice possesses an intimacy that is strangely familiar to us all. He has a very natural ability to draw from within, and expresses himself through a tapestry of words and music.

Incorporating vocals, acoustic and electric guitars, mandolin, banjo, bass, drums, piano, organ, live strings and horns, "Dewdrops" is a brilliant mix of acoustic based songs, coupled with layered melodies of sound that will capture the heart and attention of all who hear it.
