  • Bio

    .......... With a voice that soars strong and full and hushes soft and sweet, Ashley pulls you into her songs of life's hardships and hopes. Often compared to Stevie Nicks or Jewel, her sound is something you won't soon forget. Indie-rock infused with finger-style guitar, and a subtle dreamy hint of Mazzy Star. Ashley first took the stage as a solo performer in her hometown of Decatur, IL. Playing anywhere and everywhere as often as possible, she quickly found her place among the cover bands that ruled the local scene. Becoming the host of one of the local open mics, Ashley helped revitalize and nuture the underground singer-songwriter scene in Decatur and create a sense of community among local musicians. In the summer of 2008, Ashley released her solo album, Last One Standing. Since then, her songs have been featured on The Midnight Special radio show with Rich Warren, Night Sounds with Dave Leonatti, and Live 365's Women of Substance Radio. Comfortable and content as an acoustic based singer-songwriter, Ashley was somewhat surprised that her new songs seemed as if they were begging for a band. Teaming up with friends and fellow musicians Matt Comerford and Randall Grimes, Ashley was quickly inspired to head back into the studio. What follows next is a sophisticated collection of 14 original songs on her full-band debut, Most Likely To.... This album simply demands your attention, and finds Ashley & Co. poised and primed to do exactly that.
