Growing up in a working-class family in Jackson, Tennessee, Ash Bowers would need a lot more than dreams to make it to the country music capital 130 miles east on I-40. It would require determination, which Bowers found as he cut his teeth playing open mic nights; leading him to put a band together and eventually hitting the road with one of country music's biggest stars, Jason Aldean. 

His dream would also require commitment, which came easy for the husband and father of two, as he traveled 260 miles a day to Nashville for writing appointments and rehearsals, discovering his voice and love for songwriting along the way.  These requirements guided Bowers to make some very valuable and influential friends in the industry and over time, inspired Bowers to write a full album worth of songs that are currently found on his upcoming Wide Open Records album debut. 

When it came to choosing his first single to be released from the new album, Bowers saw "Red."  "The first time my buddy Adam played 'Red' for me, I instantly connected to the lyrics.  It's the first song we picked for the album and a song I can't believe I didn't write myself," says Bowers. "'Red' is an upbeat, rockin' song with big guitar solos. It's a lot of fun to perform and I hope people love it as much as I do." 

"Red" was written by Adam Craig, Derek George and Tim Owens, and was co-produced by Bowers and Billy Decker. 

Ash Bowers' untitled debut album is set to be released in spring of 2013 on Wide Open Records. For more information on Ash Bowers, visit www.ashbowers.com
