Ashmont Hill is an idyllic community in Boston from which a large, loving family was birthed into musical tradition. The Thompson family has made beautiful, spiritual music for years in Jubilee church - the church in which their father is Bishop. Phil Thompson, Sisters April Joy Thompson and Deborah Bullock, along with Deborah's husband, Wil Bullock heard the call from the Lord to bring their music to a larger community, and have set out, as in Psalm 69:30 to "...praise God's name in song and glorify Him with thanksgiving."
The group's self-titled album was a true collaboration between the band and their producer, Sal Oliveri. Sal is a musical luminary that has worked with such artists as Calvin Nowell, country artist Blue County,and even the Veggie Tales! He was selected for his ability to bring out a band sound as opposed to a "producer sound." The result speaks for itself. Ten songs with amazing vocals and tight harmonies, mostly written by group member Phil Thompson.
Ashmont Hill toured with Natalie Grant on her "Relentless" tour in 2008. They are accepting solo dates fro 2010.
