Forgive me

Ash Devine is an award winning songwriter, caring clown, theater artist, social activist and educational performer. 

I was born in the North of England. I lived there and India before moving to Chicago at 16.  I briefly played violin, had a piano in the house and I was in the school choir until I was 13.  I didn't make music for the next 25 years.   My kids are what got me started again, my daughter brought an upright bass home from school and the three of us including my son took guitar/bass lessons together every week for years.

All of my current music is performed live on a mixture of analog and digital electronic hardware and is recorded in one take,  I don't use computers to perform, I don't really ever have much of a plan beyond loading samples into a sampler, patching my modular synth or building a drum-machine kit.  I don't sequence much of anything ahead of time, everything that happens after I start performing is improvised.

I make all of my music for myself, it's the sound of the pain leaving my body.  It's the story of my life.  

I am grateful.

Daniel Duane Deardorff or 3D is a life long songwriter and multi instrumentalist. In the early years of his recording career (then called Danny) he worked with the best musicians in Los Angeles, including Louie Shelton, Jeff Pocaro, and David Hungate. Deardorff later worked in Seattle as a producer and arranger. From there he went on to author a book “The Other Within: the Genius of Deformity in Myth, Culture, & Psyche” and spent another decade as a storyteller and mythologist.  On 9/19/19, when he left this world, he left a legacy of published and yet to be released music and myth-telling recordings, teachings, writings and artwork including Polio: A Blues Album and two more albums’ worth of recorded new songs.
