Stephen Ashbrook — road-built American songwriter.

Born in Newport Beach, raised on the road. Stephen came up in the fertile early-'90s Tempe scene alongside the Gin Blossoms, The Refreshments, and Dead Hot Workshop — the alt-rock wave that put Arizona on the map.

Seven studio albums and a double live. He's shared stages with Peter Frampton, America, Kansas, Blues Traveler, The Beach Boys, Kenny Loggins, and the Gin Blossoms, and toured with Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers. He played for President Clinton at his Phoenix event, on an official request that came through the White House. Twice named the Phoenix Tribune's Best Acoustic Performer, 1998 & 2000.

Catalog placements include a Veronica Mars episode, the film Now You Know, and MTV. Registered with ASCAP, MLC, and SoundExchange.

Three decades on, he still tours the US and Europe behind his records — and he's still writing. His current single is "Favorite Thing," a song about his two sons, from the Olly Olly EP.
