“for the LOVE of Music” with Nathen Aswell and his guest Ish DaFish, on air from February 14th
Ish has a genuine way of connecting with his audience young and old alike while sharing his gifts as a family friendly Singer, Songwriter, Storyteller, Comedian & Balloon Sculpting Artist.
Ish’s shows are positive, upbeat, interactive, age appropriate and feature songs from his four CDs as well as draw on his extensive repertoire of self-penned songs and, off the wall, fun-filled stories everyone will find amusing.
He shares themes we all can relate to; that bounce around from the imaginative, compassionate and thought to provoke, to the joys of friendship, family and the world outside our doors; the environment, to a few of life’s inescapable challenges, love won and lost, parenthood and of course, messages of hope and joy.
Composing on guitar, mandolin, banjo, dulcimer, harmonica and melodica Ish’s style is best described as Roots; a combination of thoughtfully written storytelling lyrics played in a Folk, Bluegrass, Blues, Soft Rock and Country genre.
Ish has released four wonderfully produced recordings, two for Children and their Families entitled, Never Say Never and Cardboard Wings.
He also released a CD for Grown-ups entitled, Go West on 17 and recently an All Ages CD that’s appropriate for young and old alike entitled, Up Fish Creek.
We are also very proud to say that, Ish’s recording; “Never Say Never” was “Nominated for the Western Canadian Music Awards for Children’s Recording of the Year, 2012.”
Throughout the years Ish has toured across Canada from the Arctic to the east and west coast and everywhere in between and has performed at 1000’s of family friendly events that range from Children’s, Folk & Community Festivals, Country Fairs, Schools, Libraries, Daycares, and Community Theatres.
As well as Seniors Centres, Hospitals, Variety Shows, House Concerts and Special Events. Ish also enjoys donating his time and talent for important good causes too, for that’s what he’s all about.
Ish is available as a Solo Artist as well as in a Duo or Trio format as Ish & Friends and together they contribute their own signature sound, feel and vibe and bring to life Ish’s engaging songs and stories, everyone will enjoy discovering.

His most current project named ‘Gone’ is his most intimate to date and begins a new chapter in his musical career. It is an exploration of contemporary country with a mix of rock and hint of youthful influences. 
While creating a ‘model’ for the ‘resort city of the future’ on assignment for a major insurance company, his firm predicted the growth of green development and the need for wellness through preventive medicine. These discoveries were a determining factor in his mission to bring better health to people worldwide and was in part, the inspiration to write Enter Crying, Exit Laughing
