Asher Dust
Old FIre Station
Oxford
 

Asher Dust has been a mainstay of the Oxford music scene for something like two decades now, both in bands such as Nautica and Big Speakers, and as an artist in his own right.

His solo material has always been highly eclectic, held together by his deeply soulful and emotive — and instantly recognisable — voice. Silky-smooth but with a delicious gravelly edge, it is a voice which works equally over electro, ragga, hiphop, R ’n’ B and drum and bass, while his lyricism brings a darker edge to these sounds, emphasising human frailty far more than self-aggrandisement.  

Dust gigs have always been a deeply intimate affair, and over the years, he has become a master at laying bare his inner soul.
