Ash Grove Music Foundation

From 1958 until its closing in 1973 the Ash Grove was Los Angeles's preeminent roots music venue. There, the visionary owner, ED PEARL, championed the most obscure, raw and talented performers from across the United States. Now the Ash Grove continues to change lives at Get Lit. In 2019, The Ash Grove Music Foundation was folded into Get Lit - Words Ignite 501-C3, to bring educational music programming, concerts, and the legacy of The Ash Grove to a future generation.
