Ashley Wineland

This was my first time seeing Ashley perform in person. I had seen a few different posts from her X account and received a notice from the Bandsintown app that she was playing in Austin which is only a 90 minute drive for me. While it was a work week Monday I went to check out her set. I was really impressed with Ashley's stage presence, energy and the way she interacted with the small crowd. It's a small outdoor venue and the weather has been suspect all day with rain showers off and on. Thankfully mother nature have is beautiful weather too enjoy the show. Ashley plates a mix of well known covers of country, rock as well as a few of her originals. She did a bluey version of Folsom Prison which was different but she and her band pulled it off brilliantly. Her newest song Loving You Is Easy is a really fun upbeat song that will have you toe tapping among or even dancing around wherever you may be listening to it. Ashley had a pretty good following from previous years being at the Hormel house so there were familiar faces for her as well as new ones, like me, taking in her show for the first time. It won't be the last time I take in a show from her. She's got a bright future ahead of her building on the solid foundation she's built the last 13 years of her career that started at 14. Give her music and videos a listen and hopefully you enjoy what you hear enough to see her live. As for me it was well worth it.
