Ashe will be bringing her ‘The Fault Line Tour’ to First Avenue on Sunday, May 8th for an all-ages show that is absolutely worth your attention!
On her full-length debut Ashlyn, L.A.-based singer/songwriter Ashe builds elaborate symphonies around her most intimate revelations, adorning her songs with elements of everything from orchestral pop to grandiose ’70s rock to sublimely timeless piano balladry. Executive-produced by Ashe and Leroy “Big Taste” Clampitt, the album features her breakthrough single “Moral of the Story”: a FINNEAS-produced hit that’s surpassed 640 million streams to date, in addition to fueling a meteoric rise that includes amassing nearly a million Instagram followers and earning the admiration of legendary artists like Brian Wilson (one of Ashe’s personal heroes). With its tremendous musical and emotional scope, Ashlyn arrives as a thrillingly raw yet radiant body of work, fully affirming Ashe as an artist of extraordinary vision and the ingenuity to see it through.
Raised in the Bay Area, the daughter of a construction worker and English teacher, Ashe started playing piano at age eight and writing her own songs at ten, soon expanding her palette by immersing herself in the music of Brian Wilson and Carole King. After studying at the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston, she spent a year in Nashville and then settled in L.A., promptly landing deal with Mom + Pop Music. Written in the aftermath of Ashe’s divorce and released in early 2019, “Moral of the Story” quickly drew acclaim from major outlets like the New York Times (who noted that the song “seesaws between fragility and pomp”). Along with emerging as a triple-threat radio hit (peaking in the Top 10 at Alternative, Top 20 at Hot AC, and #21 at Pop), the ineffably charming and confessional track also picked up massive traction on TikTok, thanks in part to the buzz generated when Lizzo featured “Moral of the Story” on the platform.
The Brook & The Bluff will be supporting Ashe on this show. The Brook & The Bluff is a four-piece band with four-part harmonies based in Nashville, TN. Originally from Birmingham, AL, their name is derived from the pockets of Birmingham where they grew up — Bluff Park for frontman Joseph Settine, and Mountain Brook for bassist Fred Lankford, drummer John Canada, and guitarist Alec Bolton.
The band built a successful foundation touring, growing from bars in the southeast to headlining sold out rooms in major markets across the country.
The Brook & The Bluff recently celebrated the release of their new full-length album, Yard Sale, on October 8, 2021. The album features singles “Misnomer” and “Doobie Bronson” and was produced by Micah Tawlks (Liza Anne, Coin) and released through Mick Music.
