The Ascent of Everest formed in the spring of 2005 in the shadows of Music City USA (Nashville, Tennessee). Since then the band has embarked on two east coast tours and played dozens of regional shows in support of their 2006 release "How Lonely Sits the City" (the re-master of which was released June 30, 2008 by the SHELSMUSIC label). Currently the six piece outfit is preparing to tour the UK and working on material for their next record.
