God Ween Evan continues its periodic interview series, where someone in or around Ween and the Ween community chews the fat with the team. Next up is Ashton Freeman. Ashton is not only the child of Gene Ween, but an extremely talented musician in their own right. Ashton is a 20 year old multi-instrumentalist and singer/songwriter from Brooklyn, New York, currently working towards their BA in Music from Goucher College. Ashton has been involved in music their entire life, starting early in Paul Green’s School of Rock at age 8. There, they first performed on stage in venues such as the Highline Ballroom and The Knitting Factory. Ashton released an EP (You Make Me Happy, produced by Chris Harford) in 2016, and is currently working on their first full-length album. In this episode, one which concludes with Ashton performing two songs exclusively for the GWE audience, Ashton speaks on their musical influences, when they first came to realize how remarkable Ween was, their songwriting processes, and much more.
