Ashley Gove
Voice Part: Soprano
Hometown: Nashua, NH
 |
ASHLEY GOVE gets her talent from her musician father and has been performing for friends, family, and judges for 15 years. Singing in a grade school chorus led to work with the Nashua Actor Singers, summer theater, and competing in Concord's New Hampshire Community Theater Festival with the Teen Actor Singers. Ashley was a member of the Nashua High School South Jazz Choir, Concert Choir, and Chorale, twice competed for the New Hampshire Jazz All State, and has soloed with the Nashua Symphony Orchestra and Chorus. She also studied jazz and modern dance as well as ballet at the Dancing Corner of Nashua for over 13 years. When she isn't singing with T9 (or at a local open mic night), she spoils her two kittens and volunteers with Humane Society of Greater Nashua. Professionally, Ashley works with patients at a Nashua-area eye clinic as an ophthalmic medical assistant. And she's proud to say that Daryl is no longer the youngest member of T9!

Daryl Robertson
Voice Part: Tenor I
Hometown: Dover, NH
DARYL ROBERTSON is currently a freelance musician, educator, adjudicator, arranger and composer. He loves to perform and to travel and is particularly happy when he can do both at the same time. Daryl has lived in New Hampshire all his life and enjoys the Seacoast and Lakes Region equally. He has recently begun to reappear locally in musical theater productions and works professionally as a solo tenor vocalist as well as a percussionist with a timpani specialty. A huge sports fan of all the local teams, his friends say Daryl has a “Red Sox problem”; he not only follows his favorite team on TV and at Fenway, he also plans his vacations all over the country just to see them play. (It’s just as cost-effective as buying tickets to Fenway, right?) For fun, Daryl owns and operates a small summer ski-boat charter business based on Lake Winnipesauke, where he is an avid water-skier.
