"Reunion Blues cases are simply the finest and most reliable cases in the world. The leather gig bags are as classy as they are sturdy and are the perfect way to carry a guitar around the windy city - especially in the winter! The merino straps are the most comfortable cloth strap I've ever used, very well balanced and extremely stylish. I am proud to house all of my guitars in RB cases and will continue to do so for as long as I can continue pickin' and strummin'!"
“I own several RB gig bags including several leather solidbody bags in chestnut brown, the semi hollow leather bag in black, the "country and western swing" bag in chestnut brown and several of the cloth "gusset" bags". All are outstanding. I also own a variety of RB straps and use those nearly every time I perform.”
Beginning his professional career in Chicago in 2001, Kyle has appeared extensively throughout the city and beyond.
He has performed with Wynton Marsalis and Jazz at Lincoln Center, Melvin Rhyne, “Killer” Ray Appelton, Chris Foreman, Victor Goines, George Fludas, Ben Paterson and many others. While Asche is a versatile guitarist adept and comfortable in many different genres, the tenets of his style often find him in the company of many of Chicago’s premier jazz vocalists and Hammond organ bands. In addition to many recordings as a sideman, Asche has multiple recordings under his own name including the 2021 Kyle Asche Organ Trio release “Five Down Blues” available on Cellar Live Records.
Now 20 years into his tenure in Chicago, Asche continues to perform around the city on a weekly basis and can be found at many of the city’s jazz rooms regularly. As an active and caring music educator, he has held the jazz guitar faculty position at Loyola University Chicago since 2010.
