The package is deceiving; fresh-faced with a warm smile and gentle voice, singer-songwriter Ashley Robertson is a young woman with an already impressive amount of critical and international acclaim.
Born and raised in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Ashley’s interest in country music was sparked early by listening to her parent’s recordings of great artists such as Patsy Cline and Johnny Cash. As soon as she was old enough to enroll in Belmont University’s famed Music Business program, Ashley moved to Nashville where she majored in business administration, audio production and studied classical piano.
There she met her first producer Allen Frizzell of the famous Lefty Frizzell family. Ashley’s debut album was recorded at Hilltop Studios and released in 2003 to critical and international success. She became one of the youngest songwriters to have two solo written songs hit the top 100 at Canadian country radio, “Little League Tryouts” & “But He”, complete with a cross Canada radio tour and three separate trips to Europe and the U.K. to tour & perform.
Her first internationally released single “Living In Misery” gained the top spot on the American Independent, U.K. & European country charts and led to her winning the 2005 European CMA Favorite Female Vocalist of the Year award. The accompanying music video received play on CMT Canada and the Country Music Channel of Australia. She again topped the Independent, European & UK country charts in 2006 with her self-written bluegrass single “A Letter” and began earnest work writing and recording her sophomore album. According to Larry Delaney of Country Music News she “steps into full control of the project by writing all of the songs, and producing.”
Ashley graduated from Belmont University in December 2006 and released her second album “Woman in the White Dress” in Fall 2008. She was invited to perform for the prestigious “Songwriter’s Cafe” show during the Canadian Country Music Association Awards week in her hometown of Winnipeg in September. Her latest single “Deep in the Night” has already hit number one on the National Aboriginal Top 30 Countdown in Canada and is accompanied by a stunning music video produced and directed by New York Film Academy alumni and 3D artist Daniel Robertson.
Always, though, the heart of her music lies with the rich storytelling genre of country music combined with the pulsating rhythms of bluegrass. Her gently powerful soprano voice eases you along and portrays soulfulness beyond her years. Lesson learned; don’t be deceived by the youthful package, Ashley Robertson is a gifted singer-songwriter with “ample touches of hurt, passion and soul”.

The world is round The rain comes but once a week The globe where we all live, In our blue skies above Looking for what we all do want, The spirit of peace and love
Wanting that baby in our arms to hold Watching a friendship grow From birth to days of old As the tears roll down When all is not good And we smile when The sun does come again
Seeking angels, In pastures of green, Weeping children, And, Hunger pains to cry We look to God, In prayers of forgiveness In asking ourselves, why
The world is round This globe where we all live, Under blue skies of grey cloud We fight wars, and we fight to be proud We feed the hungry, we defend the poor, Then we look to the heavens, And ask for more
Wanting that baby in our arms to hold, Not wishing for a babies tears to cry As the tears roll down When all is not good And we smile when The sun does come again
Seeking angels, In pastures of green, Weeping children, And, Hunger pains to cry We look to God, In prayers of forgiveness In asking ourselves, why
As the tears roll down When all is not good And we smile when The sun does come again
The world is round This globe where we all live We feed the hungry, we defend the poor, Then we look to the heavens, And ask for more
As the tears roll down When all is not good And we smile when The sun does come again We smile, when we know Tomorrow will reign
