News Anchor Dan Ashley Turns To Music With New Single 'What Really Matters'

Americana/Country-Rock artist Dan Ashley is releasing "What Really Matters" as the first of what will be several tracks from a future album collection due out in 2020. The track, written by Dan Ashley and producer Bill Bentley, is a deeply personal song, forged by the more than three decades Ashley has worked as a leading American television journalist and the last decade as a singer and songwriter.

"I have been fortunate in my life and television career to have seen many places and met many people across the country and the world. In thirty-five years on the air reporting the events of our time, I've seen a lot- both good and bad. But in every instance, I have seen the power of kindness and caring toward those in need. This song is their story and mine". -Dan Ashley

"What Really Matters" will be available on all digital platforms including Apple Music, iTunes, Spotify, Google Play and Amazon Music.
