Steve Ashley from Hudson is with the band Roads to Rome from Nashville,
Tennessee. Steve is the son of John and Jill Ashley; John was once the
band director at Waldron area schools. The band will be playing a
concert at the Lenawee Christian Family Center in Adrian, Michigan on
February 9th at 7:00 p.m. and Hannah Lynn, a local artist and friend of
Steve Ashley, will be opening for Roads to Rome. It will be a free
admission although a free will offering will be collected. Roads to
Rome are a Christian band on Union Street Records in Nashville,
Tennessee, and are getting airplay now on the Way FM radio network all
over the country.
For some artists music and ministry are so intensely intertwined that it
provides a fruitful foundation for all they create. Such is the case
with Roads to Rome, a gifted group of musicians driven to spread Roads
to Rome (the name taken from Paul's missionary journeys which brought
him, ultimately, to Rome). They consist of 5 strongly devout veteran
musicians, whose desire, above all, is to spread the message of
salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. From New Jersey, on keyboards
and background vocals is Kevin O'Neal (Shaquille's cousin), from
Knoxville, TN; on drums is David Burch, the son of a missionary in
Japan, on bass guitar and vocals is Seth Marcum, the son of musical
missionaries from South Dakota. From Hudson, MI, on lead guitar is Steve
Ashley, formerly the guitarist, singer, and songwriter of '"Nouveaux"
and finally, from Columbus, OH, on lead vocals, guitar and keyboards is
Michael Musick, the principal songwriter of Roads to Rome.
Roads to Rome, has been greatly blessed this year in their music
ministry. Their new CD, Love Rain Down has been critically acclaimed
with reviews in All Access, Christian Retailing, CBN, and others,
describing them as a "Christian Coldplay". This past July, Roads to Rome
appeared at the BancorpSouth Center in Tupelo, MS with Jeremy Camp and
Todd Agnew. They appeared on "The Harvest Show" and "Live from Studio B"
for LeSEA broadcasting, which is being shown in syndication nationally.
They toured on with Shoutfest 05' and 06' along with Natalie Grant,
Skillet, Building 429 and Jars of Clay. Roads to Rome just released
their Christmas single, "Mr. Jones Christmas, produced by Monroe Jones
(Third Day) and is being played on the WAY-FM syndication as well as
American Family Radio and others. In January 2007 they will be releasing
their 2nd single "Love's Cry" and they will be touring extensively
throughout the U.S. and
