Ashbury was founded in 1980 in Tucson, AZ. Randy Davis and Rob Davis performed an acoustic/electric 2 piece show--added drummer Dave Carpenter, guitarist Lee Smith, Noal Morris (bass) came in from Oklahoma and Ashbury was born, debuting at Tucson's "The Night Train". The next 2 years would lead to member changes--reincarnations, etc... In January, 1983 Randy Davis, Rob Davis and Johnny Ray (now with Hillbilly Prophet) went into Westwood studio in Tucson and recorded our signature album "Endless Skies", which became an American and European cult favorite, and now it is a highly sought after collector's item--fetching upwards of $300.00 on ebay. Today Ashbury is a studio band consisting of its founding members--Randy and Rob Davis. On the Rockadrome label, they are the labels #1 seller in both Hard Rock and Heavy Metal categories, outselling legendary bands such as Winterhawk, Slauter Xtroyes, Manilla Road and Anvil Chorus (just to name a few). Their latest album, "Something Funny Going On" was released in 2004, with a new edition just re-released this year. Ashbury is currently "in studio" recording a new album scheduled for a late 2010 release.
