Alan Stevens Hewitt (aka ASH) is a New York-based classically-trained bassist, multi-instrumentalist, composer, orchestrator, and producer. He is co-creator of the internationally acclaimed rock opera LIZZIE. He can frequently be heard playing live on Broadway (and Off-) with over 30 musicals under his belt. After cutting his teeth in original bands in his hometown Philly, he relocated to NYC in the late-90’s to pursue his conservatory degree in composition at Mannes/The New School. His first score for theatre was for a gender-swapped production of Bertolt Brecht’s Baal that the NYTimes charitably called “an act of courage.” For a period in the aughts he co-owned a nightclub in Chelsea with a 10,000 gallon tropical fish tank featuring live “mermaid/merman” performances, live music, DJs, and circus artists. He lives with his pup Echo in a former fire department livery house in Haverstraw on the banks of the Hudson River.
