The New Ash Grove Players play authentic American roots music- folk, country, blues and bluegrass, that will uplift your spirit and stir your soul. We take inspiration from the many historic roots musicians that passed through the doors of the famed Ash Grove Music Club on Melrose Avenue in 1950s and 60s Los Angeles, these five talented and seasoned singers and musicians play a variety of instruments and take great traditional songs and give them new life. Featured are SS Jones (vocals, banjo and guitar), Steve Moos (vocals, mandolin and guitar), Eric Ahlberg (vocals and bass), David Fertig (harmonica), and Jeff Landau (guitar). The Ash Grove Players performed to rave reviews at the Pete Seeger Memorial Concert produced by the Ash Grove Music
Foundation in 2014. We have recently performed at McCabes Guitar Shop, the Levitt Pavillion, LA Public Library, the Coffee Gallery. We performed a Lead Belly tribute show featuring SS Jones for the opening event of the exhibition about Lead Belly at the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles, CA. We performed songs from the historic Bristol Sessions at the  Grammy Museum’s exhibition commemorating the Bristol Sessions.
