Scottish singer-songwriter Tommy Ashby returns with his latest single, “My Old Man,” an indie folk tribute to his father and the challenge of living up to high expectations. Ashby’s music often finds its way onto popular TV shows, and it’s easy to see why. This track blends heartfelt storytelling with rich production, starting with a banjo and gradually building in layers.
Ashby’s unique touch comes from his deep understanding of sound, thanks to his PhD in psychoacoustics, and once again, his emotive voice shines through. “My Old Man” offers a warm, playful energy, especially in its upbeat moments, and wraps up with a more stripped-back, reflective conclusion.
