| About Ashley Condon |
Winner! “Best Vocalists of the Month” -- Singer Universe Magazine
Raised between two potato fields on Prince Edward Island, Ashley Condon is the grandchild of Bill Leblanc, a Canadian country pioneer who once spent the night in jail with Hank Snow. On her debut EP, “I’ve Got This Feeling,” Ashley’s vocals are infused with heart, guts, and a tenderness that invites you in to listen. Her simple, poignant songs shine a light on the little gems of everyday life. “Songwriting keeps me honest and helps me connect with myself and the world,” says Ashley.
She is a dynamic performer. More than ten years of stage experience and a degree in Theatre Studies from the joint Theatre Studies program at U of T and Sheridan College have honed her natural ability to take a piece of music and bring it alive. “I learned a lot about myself in acting school, a lot about my responsibilities as a performer and about the sacred space that I hold as an artist.” It’s not uncommon for Ashley to have a whole room full of people singing and laughing along with what she does.
“She is like a Jann Arden kind of performer who can have you laughing one moment and weeping the next.” - Laurence F., Director/Actor/Producer
Hailing from the East Coast of Canada with its progeny of Celtic and Acadian rooted music, and having been raised on old-time country, bluegrass, folk, blues and classic rock, Ashley finds a place for all those sounds in her music. “I write what I feel. Some days I’m feeling bluesy, other days I’m feeling folky, and then sometimes I get this rad rock ballad coming up…I just go with it.”
Embraced by the folk community in Guelph for her larger-than-life stage presence and down-to-earth charm, 25-year-old Condon has shared the stage with folk icons Tannis Slimmon, James Gordon, Jude Vadala (The Bird Sisters), and Katherine Wheatley. She has opened for Canadian Folk Music Award Nominees, The Fugitives, and was invited to play at the 2007 Hillside Festival as a member of the Sam Turton Band.
