The duo consists of James Bloemendal (vocals, acoustic and electric guitar, percussion) and Matt McKenna (vocals, acoustic guitar, mandolin, percussion). Ash & Bloom was formed out of a University choir, in which both members were active. In 2013, Ash & Bloom joined Canadian singer-songwriter and Order of Ontario recipient[1] Justin Hines on his North American Vehicle of Change Tour.[2] Following the tour, the act was signed to Toronto label and management company JAD Media Inc., a division of Orange Lounge Recordings. They have performed alongside other notable acts such as Christopher Cross,[3] Basia Bulat,[4] The Wooden Sky and John & Jacob. HistoryWhile attending Redeemer University College in Hamilton, Ontario, Matt McKenna and James Bloemendal met in the choir. Shortly after, they joined forces with other local musicians to round out the band Garner. In early 2013 after parting ways with Garner, Ash & Bloom played a show in Port Perry, Ontario alongside singer-songwriter Stacey Kaniuk, a longtime friend of singer Justin Hines. Hines attended the show and loved the performance, asking the duo if they wanted to join him on his North American "Vehicle of Change Tour." From June to October 2013, Ash & Bloom traveled with Hines across North America. Following the tour, the duo signed with Toronto label Orange Lounge Recordings and JAD Media. Ash & Bloom EPAsh & Bloom's self-titled EP was released November 2013,[5] which featured 4 tracks written by McKenna and Bloemendal as well as Julie Crochetiere and Karen Kosowski; "Let The Storm Come", "Heaven Is A Ghost Town", "If You Stay" and "You Need More Than Love". An animated music video for "Heaven Is A Ghost Town" was released the same month, noted by fans as controversial for depicting characters such as Oprah, Gandhi and Ellen DeGeneres not making it into heaven. The video received mixed reviews from press.

Let The Storm Come was nominated for a Hamilton Music Award in 2015 for Folk/Traditional Recording of the Year. The band also received a nomination for New Artist/Group of the Year.[9]Let The Storm Come was released in Australia and New Zealand on February 6, 2015 through MGM Distribution.[10] Following the release, Ash & Bloom toured Australia, performing 5 times as part of the Port Fairy Folk Festival[11] alongside acts such as Sinead O'Connor and Buffy Sainte-Marie. This Town (Hamilton)During the 2015 JUNO Award week, which took place in Hamilton, Ash & Bloom released a video for their song "This Town (Hamilton)", from their debut album Let The Storm Come.
