Ashley has been training in voice since the age of nine. While in high school, Ashley was a featured performer in various productions as well as a guest performer of the national anthem in various community events. Her high energy performances have attracted the interests of many local and national talent agencies, such as, Bob Johnston of Columbia Records, and Steve Wirthers of Warner Bros. Records. In the summer of 2004, Ashley assembled her band of talented musicians from around Chicago. Each member, with their various tastes in music, brought something unique to the sound of the band. They recorded their demo in 2006 with Chris Parker of Rocksolid Studios, and it includes cover songs to showcase their talent and their ability to play different styles of music. The demo also has an original song that Ashley and keyboardist Gilbert Fernando collaborated on called "Not for Sale." Now, the band is focused on booking shows and writing more original material.
Venues played: Colosseum, Pearl Room, Martini Blu, Coach's Corner, Charley Horse, DelRocks, Maddy's, Mojoe's
Community Events: Taste of Orland, MS Walk, Orland Park Business Expo Show, Windy City Thunderbolts Baseball Games
Set List includes over 50 songs from artists/bands such as: Aerosmith, Bon Jovi, Pat Benitar, No Doubt, Billy Idol, Foo Fighters, All- American Rejects, Eddie Money, Michelle Branch, the Who, Maroon Five, the Killers, and Credence Clearwater Revival

P.S. Let us know if you want to help promote the show. Let’s make it a night to remember for everyone!
How's it going? Hope you are well. We just put some new tracks and new versions on the page and we hope you will stop by and check them out.
We had 'Don't Curse the Sun' mastered by a guy named Bunt who has mastered many great records including some by Morrissey, the Magic Numbers, and Thom York's latest amongst others. We had the drums have been properly recorded first, and now we are going through all the tunes in the same way to finish them up.
Our other news of the moment is about Garageband.com. We are up at no.27 in the alt pop charts(no.1 in our round) and so they are going to promote us to Clear Channel radio stations across the USA. We will have a list of stations on our page within a couple of weeks!
Meanwhile we'd love to hear what you think of our final version of 'Dont Curse the Sun' and of the other 3 tunes. A couple new ones will be up in a week or so.
