   About Naomi Ashley

'Another Year Or So' is NOW AVAILABLE ON CDBABY.COM
http://cdbaby.com/cd/naomiashley3

Originally hailing from Northwest Iowa, Naomi Ashley is a singer-songwriter currently residing Chicago. Her songs range from heartfelt to hilarious and have a certain knack for wrapping dark subject matter into catchy-country melodies you can’t help but sing along to.

Her fascination with the way people ineffectively reach out for each other was the inspiration for her newest album “Another Year Or So”. Partially funded by a grant from the Community Arts Assistance Program through the City of Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and the Illinois Arts Council, “Another Year Or So” explores the intricacies of loneliness in uncomplicated language and instrumentation. The album’s release was on December 13, 2007. Kicked off with a show at FitzGerald's in Berwyn, IL.

Her EP “Love and Other Crap” was released in 2001 followed by her full-length release (with her band Naomi Ashley and County Fair) “Small Town Thing” in 2002. The last five years she has been thinking about things… and drinking.

Urgently needed: ART-WORK!

Offering killer deals!!!

Just wondering if anyone wanted to have some art done; I'm in dire need of the work so feel free to check out my albums and pass the word.  Also doing trades, and willing to travel a bit if necessary...Preferably for tattoo parties if that's a concept.  I also do traditional art, photo-retouching and fixing, graphic design, freelance research and writing, (I'm sort of a Jack-of-All-Trades), portraitures, etc...                                                                                                                                                

 
SPREAD THE WORD!

Also, check out some of my original music here on my profile playlist if you haven't already and let me know what you think.

 

By the way…We are planning a move to Charleston so let me know if anyone knows of a studio space in the town applicable to tattooing privately (I prefer Japanese style, custom, personal settings over the average tattoo shop effect anyway.  Must be clean and comfortable)

Many thanks

Hey Naomi,

Yes it is, we have more than that in common. I'm a friend of Sue Fink as well, and Cathie V. laid down a couple of tracks for me last week-end.

Peace,

Awesome performance and set, thanks for the oldie. It was great to actually see you again.
I ran to the train and luckily I made it, but rediscovered that I still can't run without breaking my lungs
