A s h e r  K u r t z

B i o

Originally, Im from Dallas, TX but for over a decade now Ive been able to survive and sometimes thrive in New York City. I am lucky enough to make music with people I love for a living.

I play guitar, write songs, produce, mix, and engineer records at my recording studio called Little Cabin in Brooklyn, along with touring, sound design for audio installations, and releasing my own music under the name Old Feels. Ive played guitar with Lenny Pickett & The SNL House Band, Moses Sumney, Sheryl Crow, Alita Moses, St. Vincent, Rob Moose, Maggie Rogers, Kevin Garrett, Dawn Richard, Joe Dart (of Vulfpeck), Yuna, and Terri Lyne Carrington, among many others. Ive also been a part of sound installations at Lincoln Center, The New Mueseum, and MoMA.

Some important people I need to mention here are my teachers. Deeply patient and inspiring was Claire Greer who I studied classical guitar with from age 7. In high school, I was lucky enough to study with and be encouraged by the great Roger Boykin, and country/jazz guitar legend Clint Strong - Without them, Id be on a very different path now. Lastly, I have to thank my teachers in college David Tronzo and Mick Goodrick. Mick helped my brain expand, and Tronzo opened my heart and eyes to what was possible with guitar and music in general. Forever grateful to all my family, friends, and teachers.
