All We Need Is Love…
Join us for the 2nd Annual Summer of Love, backyard concert experience that brings people together through music, connection, and good vibes. Featuring Dan and Ann Ashe, Hilary and Jon Suek, and the Wildcats! live with songs from the
'60s, '70s, and '80s.

More about the performers…AsheTones, Ashe Hill, the Wildcats and the Summer of Love Party.
We’re inviting you to our Summer of Love backyard concert because we just wanted a fun reason to bring all our favorite people together. Great music, good laughs, and hanging out with friends—it doesn’t get much better than that. Just a laid-back night to enjoy the vibes and make some good memories.
Dan Ashe has been making music since the fourth grade, playing his first live gig at 15 years old. Born in 1965, Dan has a deep appreciation for the iconic sounds of the '60s, '70s, and '80s—decades that shaped his youth and continue to stir powerful memories and connection.
These days, Dan blends live vocals and guitar with the vocal support of his wife, Ann, the rising talent of his son, Noah, and just enough technology to bring the spirit of classic hits to life. Together, they create AsheTones.
Noah may be out of town this year, but have no fear—Hilary and Jon are here. Dan and Hilary have formed Ashe Hill Radio and have been entertaining audiences throughout the region over the past year. Hilary has continued to elevate her musical talents, and their on-stage chemistry keeps audiences coming back for more. Be sure to check out the videos on their website.
And then there are The Wildcats. They can appear anytime, anywhere, carrying just enough mystery to keep people guessing. Who are they? Where will they show up next? You'll just have to be in the right place at the right time.
Songs from the radio we all know,
covered live, with that “full band” sound.
Don’t blame them if you start dancing
by the second set.
