Ash & Eric - Where We've Been EP (2023) Hi-Res

In 2014, we named our band "The Promise is Hope" and released our first singles at our wedding. We recorded 2 full-length albums and traveled the country as TPIH until 2020.

In 2021, after a year of writing, recording, and sitting at home, we decided our music could be better represented. Our goal has always been to be as true to ourselves as possible. So, it was a natural choice to rename our band, simply, "Ash & Eric".

While we were recording our first A&E album, "Sure", we warmed our voices up each morning by practicing our older tunes. As we sang those songs, we realized the loss we (and our fans) might feel after changing our name.

To help ease ourselves through that transition, we decided to re-record a few of our personal favorite TPIH songs. We brought our distinct 2021 sound to 5 songs initially recorded between 2013-2017. These songs are some of our fans' personal favorites. They've now been carried forward with us as "Ash & Eric", re-created in a way that feels truer to our sound today while honoring where we've been.
