We're All Better

Something In The Heart

Find a Way

The Soils Ever Changing

Phlox

Old Confetti

Until You're Gone

What You Know

We Can Talk

This nameless potted specimen
Appears about to die
Perhaps the wilted, browning stem
Thank God it cannot cry
Is starving for a richer soil
Or just a larger pot
A plant needs little room to toil
But even less to rot

Perhaps the shriveled leaves need light
Uncut by mini-blinds
And air that's not conditioned quite
So centrally by minds
Averse to nature's crude extremes
The spice of a plant's life
And what bird's song like silent screams
Cuts through roots like a knife

Don't wanna be 
Ain’t gonna be
Don't wanna be 
I’ll never be a house plant
Don’t wanna be wanna be
I’ll never be a house plant

Perhaps the shriveled leaves need light
Uncut by mini-blinds
And air that's not conditioned quite
So centrally by minds
Averse to nature's crude extremes
The spice of a plant's life
And what bird's song like silent screams
Cuts through roots like a knife

Don't wanna be 
Ain’t gonna be
Don't wanna be 
I’ll never be a house plant
Don’t wanna be wanna be
I’ll never be a house plant

Gotta get the dark outta me ‘fore I head on back 
Cause the good heart in me knows I need you back

With his father’s guitars strewn about the house, Tommy’s childhood was always going to be musical. Travelling the country playing guitar in his father’s traditional blues band and raised on the Scottish pub singaround culture his initial musical experiences were immersive and natural. His teens were spent pouring over his parents record collections of American songwriters such as Neil Young, Simon and Garfunkel, and Jeff Buckley. The eclectic mix of american roots, blues and country music combined with his Scottish folk roots and the agrestic simplicity of his hometown life all seeped into his music.

His debut EP, recorded with Mercury music nominated producer Chris Bond (Ben Howard), was released in late November 2016 and entered at No.5 in the iTunes singer-songwriter chart. Ashby has supported Jamie Lawson, Nina Nesbitt, Tom Speight and Rhodes.
