Summary

From the backroads of South Carolina to the neon lights of Broadway, Ashland Craft is redefining country with a raw, authentic sound. Her voice—a powerful, gritty blend of heart and soul—echoes legends like Janis Joplin, cutting through the noise with a timeless, unforgettable presence. Raised on the spirit of her Paw Paw and inspired by strong women like Grandma Lynn, Ashland’s music is a fearless mix of classic country grit and soul-stirring storytelling. Tracks like “Morning Person,” “Right Damn Now,” and viral anthem “I Smoke Weed” capture her journey from honky-tonk bars to unforgettable tours with icons like Marcus King, Cody Johnson, and Ian Munsick.

Her latest album Traveling Kind celebrates life on the road, the people who shape her, and the unforgettable moments along the way. With a crew of powerhouse women like Lainey Wilson, Megan Patrick, and Caroline Munsick, Ashland is proving that country music isn’t just a sound; it’s a way of life, and she’s here to make sure it’s louder than ever.
