Ashes & Arrows is a dynamic country/rock band with roots stretching from the mountains of Asheville, North Carolina, to the alps of Arrowtown, New Zealand. Known for their soaring harmonies, heartfelt lyrics, and electrifying stage presence, the band delivers a sound that captivates audiences far and wide. Drawing inspiration from acts like NEEDTOBREATHE, Judah & The Lion, and The Avett Brothers, Ashes & Arrows creates music that is both deeply personal and universally resonant—songs that leave a lasting impression. The band’s journey began in 2021 at an open mic night in downtown Asheville, where Ciaran McMeeken, Benjamin Voigt, and Jonathan Calhoun discovered a shared passion for storytelling through music. In 2024, Ashes & Arrows made a national impact as semi-finalists on NBC’s America’s Got Talent. In late 2024, Benjamin Voigt stepped away from the band. Ashes & Arrows released their debut EP Forward in 2022. Now with debut album Chapter One: The Long Road North, produced by Jamie Tate in Nashville.
