Here's an end of 2016 note from Ashleigh:


"Tonight I played my second to last show of 2016. I'm looking forward to taking a little time off of gigging to spend some quality time with my family and friends in Colorado. I love looking back on the past year and preparing for the next. Its such a promising time. 2016 has been such a fun and fulfilling year! Finishing up and releasing Looney Bird was a big highlight for me, but there were so many other great moments. I've loved making music with so many amazing people, bringing stories to life in song and playing and singing for so many of you!

We never know what the future holds, but I plan to jump into 2017 with hope and determination to make the best out of whatever the world throws at me. I hope you all have a warm and wonderful holiday season with the people you love!"


Come back soon for some exciting announcements for 2017.

The International Bluegrass Music Association has announced the participants in its 2016 World of Bluegrass Songwriter Showcase.
Each year the ten best songs from the dozens submitted for consideration are selected, and the writers are invited to perform them during IBMA’s annual convention before an audience of artists and producers eager for new material.   Both the recognition by the organization and the exposure received from their showcase in front of their peers and interested industry people can catapult a songwriter to wider appreciation.

Chosen for 2016 are:

• Aaron Bibelhauser – Blue Collar Dreams
• Anya Hinkle – Ever What They Say
• Ashleigh Caudill – Franklin County
• Christopher Burton – Textbook Definition of the Blues
• CJ Cain – Widow’s Ghost
• Galen Green – Little Circles
• Jenni Lyn Gardner – Burn Another Candle At Both Ends
• Kevin Williamson – The Miner’s Song
• Korby Lenker – Friend and a Friend
• Lee Leanders – Birmingham to Jackson

Congratulations to this year’s songwriters!
The World of Bluegrass Songwriter’s Showcase will be held on September 29 at 1:00 p.m. in the Raleigh Convention Center in Raleigh, NC.
