Five years since the release of his acclaimed debut album, <b><i>Asleep in the Bread Aisle (Island Def Jam)</i></b>, which yielded the hit song
<b>“I Love College,” </b>Asher has experienced a transformation only achieved by spiritual growth. He relocated from his native city, Philadelphia, PA (“Don’t worry Philly – there is no place like home”) to find new inspiration on the west coast in Los Angeles,
California. The by-product of this time and transition resulted in this remarkable new album that explores some new and some classic sonic territories and remains true to the thought-provoking, lyrical wit that is loved by his fans. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">On making the album, Asher said "I made music that I would want to hear, music that felt good to me. We didn't play by any rules and that makes me proud. There shouldn't
be any rules in making music. <i>RetroHash</i> is a genuine expression of the artist and person I am."<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<b><i>RetroHash</i></b> from beginning to end live, with his band and special musical guests, tonight in Los Angeles at the
