One of the Midwest’s busiest DJs had another exciting month full of multiple gigs.
Ashton returns to Kauffman Stadium

Congress Middle School
Our favorite DJ surprised the Congress Middle School Cougars when he visited the school on May 17. He was there to help the students celebrate their accomplishment of completing the MAP Testing. However, Ashton was not done just yet….
Rock the Block Fashion Show
Ashton’s second gig of May 17 was at the Rock the Block Fashion Show at the Garment District. It was another successful event as six local designers showed off their summer lines. The Pat Lentz Band also helped Ashton provide the entertainment for the crowd.
Sundays at the Jacobson
Every Sunday, you will find Ashton spinning the hottest tunes at the Jacobson’s patio. Come enjoy their exceptional cocktails, great atmosphere and wonderful Sunday evening vibe. Ashton spins from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
