Ashleigh Marie is a true daughter of the South. Born and raised in
Huntsville, Alabama, this fifteen year old troubadour manipulates a
crowd like the strings of her guitar. Either through her emotionally
packed ballads or her intensely country up-tempos, her unique style of
song and verse is certain to command your attention. You can catch
Ashleigh performing cover songs that range from legends such as John
Anderson, Alabama, Loretta Lynn to younger more contemporary stars such
as Taylor Swift, Colbie Calliat, and many other country music hall of
famers and those soon to be.
Ashleigh picked up her first guitar
when she was just eight years old and although too many, that seems
young to fall in love, Ashleigh and her guitar have been a seven year
affair that only keeps getting stronger. Ashleigh has been fortunate
enough to have had Mike McAlister of Harvest, Alabama, as her guitar
teacher for 2 years and aside from simply teaching her
guitar, McAlister prepared Ashleigh further by teaching her Music Theory.
Since first picking up a guitar, Ashleigh has been on the
forefront of leading her generation toward a future based on music. She
has played at several Christian Youth Rallies, been awarded in numerous
competitions and has been asked to appear in a multitude of special
events. At age fourteen Ashleigh has performed over 400 live shows in
front of as many as 4,000 people. Ashleigh is a member of (HTMA) or
Huntsville Traditional Music Association. She has become a recognizable
face in Kidz for Kidz events, as well as, been on television spotlight
shows.

and bandannas, and an original country sound, we invite you to hit play

chair. This IS ASHLEIGH MARIE
