Once again, the Ash helped kick off Moondance Jam 2012 with their performance on the Main Stage under the lights.  Video cameras and audio recorders were rolling to capture the Mountain Ash’s set.  Other main stage performers included Hairball and Bad Animals.  A perfect night to start Moondance 2012!

2/22/12
Mountain Ash performed in concert with Hairball at the legendary Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, IA.  The show was a complete sell-out with standing room only!  It was a night of loud guitars, pounding drums and screaming vocals.  Years back, the Surf was the location of Buddy Holly’s final concert before he was killed in a plane crash after the show on his way to Fargo.  As always, the Hairball crew was a pleasure to work with and the staff at the Surf are second to none in keeping the rock and roll spirit of the Surf alive and well!

2/18/12
Next up – Spikes in Faribault, MN.  We’re looking forward to our first show at Spikes and look forward to a long successful relationship with one of the premier rock clubs in southern Minnesota.  See you at Spikes!

Final show of the Mountain Ash’s summer run back in our hometown of Kenyon, MN.  Outdoors for Rose Fest days, back where it all started 35+ years ago.

8/6/11
Road trip to Dubuque, IA.  Ash played at the Dubuque County Fair with Buckcherry.  Another hot weekend, but the crowds didn’t mind and neither did we.  Our thanks to our friends at TEA Productions for setting up the show – thanks Jack & Jack!

7/22/11
Lumberjack Days in Stillwater.  Mountain Ash joined forces with our buddies Cain to open up the Main Stage for headliner Collective Soul.  It was hot, hot, hot during the show but the setting was incredible in downtown Stillwater next to the St Croix river.

7/15/11
The Ash played one more set on the Saloon Stage.  There is not a better rock venue on the Planet than the Saloon!

7/13/11
Moondance Jam kick-off night!  Mountain Ash open up the Main Stage with Hairball, Cain and Bad Animals.  All the bands played killer sets!  It was a special treat to see the Cain band back in action.  Back in the 70’s they were one of the top Midwest Bands who released two incredible albums.  Jiggs Lee, the lead singer sounds better than ever, how does he do it?  Nationals this year included Kiss, Paul Rodgers, Stone Temple Pilots, 38 Special, Great White, etc. 

7/8/11
This weekend was the first Ash appearance at the famed Blue Ox Saloon in Brainerd, MN.  The Ox is the perfect old-style rock club for the Ash to get ready for this summer’s run of shows.

1/14/11
Back to the Northern Lights Casino in Walker for a 2-night stand.  This week-end is the official Moondance Jam “Half Moon Loonacy” since this weekend falls exactly six months after/before Moondance Jam.  The hotel is full of Moondance Jammers celebrating the magic of Moondance.  Outside, its 20 below zero.  We didn’t go outside for three days until it was time to pack up the gear and head home.

9/25/10
The Moondance family suffered a huge loss with the passing of Moondance owner / founder Bill Bieloh.  We offer our condolences to the Bieloh family.  We were honored to call Bill a close friend of the Mountain Ash family.  He will be missed more than words can say…

7/17/10
Back on the Saloon Stage at Moondance Jam.  Our home away from home!  The Moondance crowds just get bigger and bigger each year.  We played two shows this year,  The first show anchoring the Wednesday night Pre-Jam in the Saloon.  We then followed up with a show on Saturday, right before our LA buddies ThundHerStruck.  Other Nationals at Moondance this year included REO Speedwagon, Buckcherry, Sammy Hagar, Pat Benatar, Lynryd Skynyrd, etc.  The shows this year were filmed for Direct TV’s in concert series.

12/31/09
Mountain Ash rang in the new year with a three-night stand at the Northern Lights Casino.  Roger doubled his pay with some lucky slots.  Not a bad way to start the year…

11/25/09
Mountain Ash joins Bad Animals for a show at Neisens in Savage for a Pre-Thanksgiving show.

10/5/09
Great Outdoor Show with Foghat in Wichita last weekend!  We always enjoy the road trip down to Kansas.  The weather was perfect, top notch stage and production, energetic crowd… what more can you ask for!  Also had a chance to hook up with our buddy Jeb Wright of Classic Rock Revisited.

9/22/09

Road trip!  Next week, Mountain Ash heads to Kansas to open up for Foghat at the Amphitheater in Derby, KS.  It’s been a couple of years since we’ve traveled to Kansas and we’re ready for a “slow ride” heading south!

The Fall Issue of 22^nd Century Rock has just been released.  The Ash boys received a very complimentary review for their performance at Moondance Jam this year.  Special thanks to Robert Tuozzo.  Check out the magazine at http://22ndcenturyrockmagazine.com/

8/19/09

After 35-years, Mountain Ash has made the cover of the Kenyon Leader.  For a little band from Kenyon, this is like winning a Grammy Award…  For those that are interested, here is a link to the article http://thekenyonleader.com/news.php?viewStory=1415

7/24/09

Who says you can’t go home?  Mountain Ash returned to Kenyon to play for a special show in their home town.  The Kenyon Security State Bank asked the band to play for their 75^th Anniversary and we jumped at the chance.  Back when the band was first starting in 1974, the bank helped finance our first PA and lighting equipment purchase.  At the time, we were still in high school, but the bank lent us money to get started and we’ve been thankful ever since.  We even told them we’ll be back for the 100^th Anniversary as well.

7/20/09

Mountain Ash got some great photos and write-ups in the Classic Rock Revisited review of Moondance Jam.  For a quick look at the article, go to the following web address http://classicrockrevisited.com/MOONDANCE2009.htm

7/18/09

The final night of Moondance Jam saw Mountain Ash paired up with ThundHerStruck.  Once again, the Saloon was wall to wall for both shows.  We’ve had a chance to perform with ThundHerStruck 5-6 times over the years.  During their final song, the band called up Spark to jam on Highway to Hell as Moondance Jam 18 wound down.

7/15/09

Mountain Ash and Hairball kicked off the Moondance Jam pre-party on Wednesday evening.  All night, it was standing room only in the Saloon.  Camera feeds were relayed to the Main Stage Jumbo Tron so the crowd outside the Saloon could see all of the action inside.  This was one of those nights when the Ash was on fire.  The crowd and band were on the same wavelength all through the show.  Next up, Hairball…  As usual, the band took complete command of the stage and rocked non-stop until last call.

6/18/09

The Ash crew put down their guitars and drumsticks and again helped manage the back stage area for Moondance Jammin Country.  Come mid-July, we get to do it all again for Moondance Jam.

5/2/09

Back up to Walker for a Benefit Concert at the Walker Area Community Center.  This building is brand spanking new and the size of three indoor hockey arena’s.  The benefit was a fund raiser to help off-set operating costs for the new facility.  Also performing was comedian Scott Hanson.  The night ended plenty early giving the boys more than enough time to close down Charlie’s on the way back to the hotel.  Walker is our second home, so give us a reason to drive north and we’re there!

4/17/09

Believe it or not, in their 35-year history, Mountain Ash had not yet played at Grandpa Al’s in Faribault, MN (just down the road from the bands home town of Kenyon).  Well that all changed with their first show on the third Friday evening in the fourth month of the year 2009.  Before the first song ended, the Ash felt they’ve been playing here for years.  Many familiar faces from 20+ years ago came to the show to check out the band.  Best yet, we met a bunch of new friends as well.  We’re looking forward to coming back for some more shows later this fall.

4/4/09

The Ash joined the Bad Animals for another show at Neisen’s Sports Bar & Grill.

1/9/09

It was a mini-Moondance reunion at O’Gara’s Bar & Grill when Mountain Ash, Ali Gray, and Half Past 6, all Moondance Jam veterans, teamed up for a full night of music in the back room music hall.  Drummer Brandon Fjetland did double duty playing with Mountain Ash and Ali Gray.  For Roger, the best part of the night was all the comp beer and food in the dressing room before and after the show.

11/1/08

Mountain Ash joined the Bad Animals a Tribute to Heart, at Neisen’s Sports Bar & Grill.  Although we’ve known the band for years, this was our first chance to work together.  We hope we do many more shows with the Bad Animals in the future.

7/11/08

On the third day of the Jam, Mountain Ash hit the stage as storm clouds circled and the winds started to rock.  The Ash kicked off a full set in spite of the circling clouds, bouncing the sounds of classic rock clear across Leech Lake.  The boys finished their set just as the sprinkles appeared.  Next up was Great White.  Just when they were scheduled to start, the heavens opened and the rain really began.  The guys in Great White were real troopers.  They just hung out on stage under the roof and waited nearly an hour for the rains to stop.  Once the weather cleared, they fired up played a great set featuring all of the Great White hits.  Next up – Sebastian Bach.  Sab pranced and screamed his way through the hits of his former band Skid Row.  One of the most interesting bands of the Jam was the recently reformed Sweet.  The band cranked out Fox on the Run, Ballroom Blitz and a bunch of other tunes I’ve heard but don’t have a clue what the names are.  Headliner for the night was Poison.  This is the second time that Mountain Ash has opened up for Poison.  The first time we worked with the Poison crew was at Wheatland Jam in Wichita, KS back in 2003.  As usual, the Poison show is hit after hit with non-stop pyro.

7/1/08

The Ash are geared up and ready for summer to kick in.  First up will be Moondance Jam where the band opens for Poison and others on the national stage Friday July 11^th.

6/21/08

Ash drummer Brandon Fjetland performed with the Ali Gray Band at Moondance Jammin Country.

4/1/08

Mountain Ash is signed to perform at Moondance Jam 2008 on the National Stage.  We’ll be opening for Poison, The Sweet, Sebastian Bach, and Great White on Friday July 11th.  This will be our second show opening for Poison.  The last time with Poison was at the Wheatland Jam in Kansas a couple of years ago.  That was the time we learned the meaning of “Africa Hot” with temps of 110 degrees in the shade.

3/1/08

The Ash is looking ahead to the summer season.  It was great to have a break at the end of the year but rehearsals are starting and new material is being added to the set.  Festivals coming up this summer include Moondance, Bolin Fest, as well as a new festival in Kansas.  We’ll post more info once dates are confirmed.

10/13/07

Roger hit the half century mark and celebrated with a birthday blow-out.  The Ash played a couple sets with drummer Gary Voxland (Ash alumni).  It was great to play with the “Snare” again.

Bolin Fest

As usual, the heat wave continued.  This year, Bolin Fest was held outdoors and Mountain Ash played their set during the hottest part of the day.  We survived, but did cut the set short cause it was just too damm hot!  When Jim Dandy and Black Oak Arkansas arrived, Dandy was not fired up to do the show due to the heat.  It was Rogar to the rescue as he bonded with Dandy and convinced him to do the show.  Once JD got on stage, it was “Jim Dandy to the Rescue!”

7/20/07

Classic Rock Revisited (www.classicrockrevisited.com) posted their review of Moondance Jam 2007.  Mountain Ash had a nice reference in the article.

Moondance Jam

7/9/07

Summer’s here, it’s getting hot!  On Saturday night, the Walker Street Dance was a cooker!  Thought we were going to loose Kevin and Brando to the heat but they pulled it out, the pro’s that they are.  Countdown to Moondance.

6/12/07

Krueger Fest

Just back from Krueger Aid Fest. Hilary Kruger and her son, Zak, at the Waseca County Fairgrounds.  It was a perfect sunny day and clear night for an outdoor festival.  We spent all afternoon hanging backstage with members of Soul Asylum, Golden Smog, and McCloone.  After the fireworks, it was Ash’s turn to take the stage and close out the night.

Speaking of the band McCloone, it was a reunion of sorts for Mountain Ash, Steve McCloone and the Williams brothers Tom and David.  Back in the mid-70’s, McCloone and the Williams’ were members of a band called Judd.  When Judd completed their first album called “Rhythm and Space,” Mountain Ash was the opening act for their Album Release Concert.  We hadn’t seen these guys for 30 years…

6/1/07

Mountain Ash has been signed to perform at Kruger Aid Fest to be held Saturday June 9^th at the Grandstand of the Waseca Minnesota Fairgrounds.  Other bands scheduled to perform include Soul Asylum, Golden Smog, Steve McLoone, City Mouse, Fast Annie McLoone, Brian Naughton, City Mouse, Callie Weiss, and the Freedom Rock Band.

On February 3, 2007, an intruder entered the home of Tracy and Hilary Kruger. The intruder senselessly and tragically took the lives of husband and father Tracy, and 13-year-old son Alec.  Wife and mother Hilary, who was also shot, sustained massive injuries and is still hospitalized.  Ten-year-old Zak was at a friend’s home overnight.

This tragedy compelled the community to come together to organize Kruger Aid Fest, a benefit to help secure the future of Hilary Kruger and her son, Zak, at the Waseca County Fairgrounds on Friday June 8^th and Saturday June 9^th.

Schedule change.  Mountain Ash will be performing at a Street Dance in Walker, MN on Saturday, July 7, 2007 instead of the Moondance Pre-Jam party.  We wish we could play at both venues at once but we’ll be rockin the streets of Walker from 7:30 PM to 11:30 PM and then head out to the Jam Site for last call at the Pre-Jam.  If you’re in the Walker area on July 7^th, start your night off at the street dance and then head out to the Moondance Jam site to finish out a full night of rock and roll.

4/15/07

Mountain Ash will return four their second appearance at the annual Tommy Bolin Fest in Sioux City, IA.  This year’s concert will be held outdoors on August 11, 2007.  The late Tommy Bolin was the former guitarist for the James Gang and Deep Purple as well as well as solo artist.  Coordinating the festival each year is Tommy’s younger brother Johnny Bolin, current drummer for Black Oak Arkansas.  We’ll pass on more details as additional National Acts are signed for the festival.

After 30 years, Mountain Ash returned to the town of Wanamingo .  The last time in town we played a dance at the local high school.  This time, we had a chance to come back and play at a local club called Ringo’s.  Believe it or not, we met some fans from over 3 decades ago…

9/25/06

Time to squeeze in one last outdoor show for the 2006 season.  The Ash returned to their hometown of Kenyon for its 150^th year celebration.  Saturday night, the band cranked it up under the huge outdoor tent.  I’m sure they heard us loud in clear all throughout town, even the mighty suburb of Trondhiem!  Thanks to Gemini Productions for the massive sound production.

8/27/06

Bolin Fest 2006.

Our last road trip of the summer took us to Sioux City , IA to perform in the annual Tommy Bolin Fest.  Sioux City is the hometown of Tommy Bolin, former guitarist for the James Gang and Deep Purple as well as well as solo artist.  Coordinating the festival each year is Tommy’s younger brother Johnny Bolin, current drummer for Black Oak Arkansas .  After setting up camp at the local Holiday Inn, we headed down to the concert to wait our turn to go on stage.  The venue was packed with people enjoying a night of classic rock music.  This show turned into one of the most enjoyable gigs of the summer.  Our thanks to Johnny Bolin and the rest of the concert staff!  We look forward to seeing you all again at next year’s Bolin Fest.

Check out the web link to Tommy Bolin.

7/18/06

Moondance Jam has come and gone.  It was hot, hot, hot this year and the temp’s were hot as well.  On Thursday, the Ash opened up for Ted Nugent and Alice Cooper on the Main Stage.  We just finished our set and the raindrops started to fall.  The crack team of stagehands had our gear off the stage and packed up in record time.  Can’t say enough times how great it is to work with the Total Entertainment crew.  We thank them for taking special care of us every year.  Later that evening, Ted Nugent finished his set in the pouring rain and lightning flashes… he was having a blast battling the elements.  After a short weather delay, Alice came out for a rock solid show.  Other highlights of the Jam included National acts such as Poison, Heart, Steve Miller and our buddies the Little River Band.  The Regional acts kicked ass as well.  Great sets by our buddies Rugburn, Black Valentine, T. Albert Lloyd and the Kingpins, Mark Anthony’s Storm Project, ThundHerStruck, Silent Partner, A Fixx of Seagulls, The Minnesota Whiskey Pigzz, and Tim Casey and the Martyrs.

Jeb Wright and the crew from ClassicRockRevisited.com returned for their second Jam.  Check out their review of Moondance Jam at classicrockrevisited.com.  Mountain Ash even had a brief mention and photo in the article.  How cool!

Another Moondance Pre-Jam.  This time, the pre-jam was held at the Moondance Saloon in Walker.  The opening act for the night was the three-piece band El Diablo from Cass Lake.  Eric and the boys played a kick-ass set then packed it up for a second gig that night 20 miles down the road.  We had a chance to crank out two full sets to finish out the night.  As usual, Rob Kruger of Gemini Productions provided sound and lights.  This was the perfect tune-up for Moondance Jam, less than one week away.

6/25/06

Mountain Ash joined three other bands for a Moondance Jam Pre-Party at the Star Central in Minneapolis.  Other bands that performed included Black Valentine, Mark Anthony’s Storm Project, and Sweet Paulie T. & the Blues Blasters.

It was old home week as we hung out backstage with all of our buddies from the other bands.  Our thanks to Rose Daniels of Cross-Management, LLC for organizing the event.  Also, big thanks to Joe and Nathan at Star Central for handling all of the production duties.

Just got back from the Winfield Jam in Winfield, Kansas.  It was a quick road trip with a lot of drive time, but we had a blast closing out the B-stage at the Jam on Saturday night.  Our buddies from the Total Entertainment Group (the stage, sound, and lighting company) took good care of us in Winfield.  The highlight of the trip for Roger was meeting Chuck Foreman at a Wal-Mart in Des Moines.  He’s even got the photo oh him and Chuck shaking hands…  Doesn’t take much to keep the boy happy.

6/1/06

Our friends “ThundHerStruck” will be performing at Moondance Jam on Friday and Saturday night as headliners on the Saloon Stage.  We’ve enjoyed performing some shows with the band over the past few years and look forward to hanging out with them at the Jam…  If you are at Moondance Jam this year, you will not want to miss this show! http://thundherstruck.com
