| Originally named 'the Chairhoppers', Asher started out as two friends in a small town high school. The band's first objective was to make people laugh. Jimmy and Nathan wrote 'spoof songs' to entertain classmates.
The high school decided to let them play at the 'End of the Year Show.' Needing a name, they used one of their Principal's terms: "chairhopping" as inspiration.
Chairhopping: the act of frequently changing seats to indulge in different social atmospheres, while withholding no commitments to any and all chairs, in a cafeteria or lunch room setting. ex: " I will not tolerate any chairhopping in the lunch room." In 1997 an anti-chairhopping motion was passed, formally known as Assigned Seating.
As Jimmy and Nathan's band grew in size and depth, another band member was waiting in the shadows just 15 miles away. Chase, having played the drums all of his life, decides he is tired of bands and begins to pursue personal projects. While Jimmy and Nathan add two more members, Chase starts writing and recording his own arrangements.
At the same high school as Jimmy and Nathan, Brandon becomes the front man for his band "the Addictions." His band opened for the Chairhoppers on several occasions. The music was a little heavier than the Chairhoppers, and it made for a good contrast.
While playing "Sweet Home Alabama" on the piano for a bunch of fellow classmates at a party, Chase meets Nathan when Nathan inquires into his musical abilities. The two play together off and on, but never as a band.
A couple of years later Asher was formed, at what was supposed to be a one time gig. The band is currently looking for a label, and has recently acquired a new manager: Jennifer Kenefick.
