Ashley's first release, Past Presence, connects the bluegrass music of today with the songs and
lives of past generations from the mountains and hollows of Kentucky and is expressed and
delivered by Ashley Lewis, daughter, great-grand daughter, and great-great-grand daughter of
those mountain people. Three of the six originals were influenced by her ancestors or the lands on
which they lived. The title song, "Past Presence," is the inspirational story of Ashley and her
great-grandparents. From the diverse originals, including the haunting lonesome sound on,
"Sterett's Last Run," to the fresh approach on bluegrass standards, Past Presence delivers a
distinctive bluegrass sound with smooth harmonies and exceptional instrumentation.
This album features other musicians, Doug Knecht, Danny Pitney, Jeff Midkiff and Jan Lewis.
"Many thanks...for Past Presence which I have been enjoying. You all have written some powerful
tunes-I was especially enamored with "Mountain Memories," "Truth Behind The Lies," "Sterett's
Last Run," and the title track. Plus you've done a fine job covering songs such as "Mandolin Rain,"
"Those Memories," and "Old Joe Clark." Thanks again for the cool tunes!"
