Greg Ashley is a man who loves his garage-punk-psych-folk music. His first two bands The Strate-Coats and The Mirrors led to his influential quartet The Gris Gris. He’s turned down the amps and feedback for a quieter and at times cabaret-jazz sound on his latest solo effort, A New Generation of Slaves. We get a taste of the record live in our Jim and Kay Mabie Performance Studio. Photo: Flickr/jonas hart
