fanbase, fearless drive, and a live show built for arenas. Self-made and road-tested, she’s booked 60+
headlining gigs and rocked festival and fair stages nationwide — all without a label. Along the way,
she’s shared the stage with Lainey Wilson, John Michael Montgomery, and Sawyer Brown, learning
from the best while holding her own.
Now collaborating with Grammy-nominated producer Marti Frederiksen (Carrie Underwood, Ozzy
Osbourne), Ashley’s latest single “Tumbleweed” has racked up 1.3M+ views, with more hits on the
way. Her 2025 “Moments in Time” Tour promises a whirlwind of raw energy, heart, and heat.
Rooted in Arizona’s rugged cowboy culture, Ashley blends grit and grace — championing veterans,
writing from real life, and owning every stage she steps on.
With a voice that draws comparisons to Carrie, Miranda, and Gretchen, Ashley’s not chasing trends —
she’s building a movement. Authentic. Electric. Unstoppable. This is country music on her terms —
and she’s just getting started.
