Carl Asch
“When
I was 15, my parents took me to New York City,”
recalls Empty Hats lead singer, Carl Asch, “where we
happened upon a street performer reciting
Shakespearean sonnets to a captivated crowd.
Watching this man hold and delight his audience, I
felt I was glimpsing my own future.”
And indeed he was. In the ensuing decades, Carl
found himself continually discovering and developing
his talents. He studied classical guitar at The
American Institute of Guitar in NYC, languages at
SUNY-New Patlz and variety performing on streets and
stages in the U.S., Paris, London, Milan (where he
got arrested), Venice, and Seville. Folk Festivals,
Renaissance Faires, Concert Halls, casinos, two
World’s Faires and the hundreds of thousands of
people who frequent them have been among his many
supporters.
Today, Carl interweaves his skills as a musician,
juggler, ropewalker, and magician with his unique
gift for personally touching each member of his
audience. Whether performing solo, with the band, or
with his 20-year-old son Caleb, Carl Asch will
enchant and uplift you.
