The Ashley Bean band. Ashley is the center of attention, even with her band name. Her looks, her voice, her songs, all are testimony to this gifted singer/songwriter. During our work together for this project, Ashley shared some of her music with me, and I watched her videos on You Tube. The accompanying band plays well, and the unit as a whole delivers rock and roll as it should be. Read below to learn more about The Ashley Bean band.
