Movie star, Ashton Holmes, returned to Albany over Christmas weekend to reunite with his old band he used to play with back in 1999, a band called Method of Groove. That year in ’99, they release a CD titled, “448 Pearl” which I bought off Ashton himself years back and still have the CD. Method of Groove used to be one of my favorite local bands back then. In this video, here they are playing acoustically. It’s obvious Albany still remembers them ’cause it sounds like they had quite a crowd there that night and the audience was singing along with them a little bit with this song.
It would be cool if Ashton would come back to music full time in Albany, but I doubt it. This was probably a one off thing since I’m sure Ashton came back to Albany to visit friends and family for the Holidays. Ashton Holmes is an actor for movies and Broadway. So I’m sure he’s concentrating on that more.
Good to see him doing Method of Groove again for old time’s sake though. It be kind of cool if they go back in the studio and put out a new record for Albany, but who knows, maybe it’ll actually happen. Method of Groove was one of the great local bands back in those days and still listen to their CD.

Hey, don’t know what to tell you ladies. I got my copy around the time when the band Method of Groove was just releasing the album. I got the album off of Ashton himself. I sent him a check for the CD and he mailed me back a copy. That was way back in the early 90’s when the band was around. I’m amazed that the band still have a pretty big following to this day even if they aren’t around anymore. My guess on how to get a copy of the album, the only possible way is to get a hold of Ashton Holmes himself. I don’t know his contact info, don’t have his e-mail or any of that. He’s a famous actor now and I don’t see him going back to music full time anytime soon.
