Soulful. Inspiring. Authentic. True. Just a few words that people use to describe them and their artistry, and yet ASCENDANT is simply that... ascendant... rising above. From its start, Ascendant has been rising above... their fears, their obstacles and creating meaningful, soul-filled music in an era when such artistic statements just aren't made but desperately needed. Since it began over 20 years ago, ASCENDANT has risen into a remarkable powerhouse band that continues to excite, uplift and inspire people all over the world. Take a listen to the soaring high notes and heartfelt harmonies. It's there in every soul-drenched note; every colorful chord progression; every uplifting rhythm. ASCENDANT rises... and asks us all to join them in flight...
