Los Angelese-based singer/songwriter Ashe (aka Ashlyn Rae) just headlined First Avenue, in Minneapolis, on Mother’s Day, May 8th.
Birmingham-born, Nashville-based band The Brook & The Bluff opened the show. The band started as a duo of Alec Bolton & Joseph Settine, but when they play live, they also add John Canada & Fred Lankford. They also had a live keyboard player, but was not named.
The group previously played next door, at the 7th Street Entry, earlier in January 25, 2022, which they admitted First Avenue was much, much larger (with ten times the capacity).
They played songs from their debut album, First Place.
Ashe’s main audience are teenage girls, and they overtook First Avenue’s dancefloor… singing along to all her songs. This is a group of pop music fans, as prior to Ashe’s appearance, the DJ played to the crowd:
Taylor Swift’s “You Belong with Me”, One Direction’s “Steal My Girl”, and ABBA’s “Dancing Queen”… each song were met with singing from the crowd.
Ashe didn’t seem to mind, she seemed pleased and encourage the audience to finish some of her songs.
She mentioned that when she was booking the 2022 tour, she said of all the cities, Minneapolis was the one she was most looking forward to playing. Since it was Mother’s Day, she first asked to hear from all the mothers in the audience (who were probably chaperoning their daughter to the show). Ashe was determined to make this night a very special night for the fans (and their mothers).
Of course, Ashe played all the hit singles, including the new one, “Me Without You”, and saving her best-known song, “Moral of the Story” for her set finale… going out on a satisfying big bang.
Ashe’s debut album Ashlyn is out now on Mom + Pop Music. Her latest single, “Another Man’s Jeans” is also available now.
Remaining tour dates:
