Sabbath Quartet is proud to introduce Ashley Moose to the world of Gospel Music. He is an extremely talented vocalist and can sing those low notes that everyone loves to hear. He first heard Tim Riley singing on the radio and was immediately hooked on this music and felt the desire and calling to pursue a life of singing the Gospel. At the age of 14 he was introduced to Jeff Chapman who would become his mentor, and would form a lifelong friendship with one of the best to ever sing bass. Ashley has also attended the Stamps School of Music and over the years has performed with very popular local and regional groups in the Piedmont of North Carolina such as The Brothers Redeemed, The Servants and High Time Quartet.
