AnneS Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Saw Jerry Douglas and Tommy Emmanuel-oh my, my... And Jim Lauderdale And Donna the Buffalo Shook Buddy Miller’s hand. And to top it off, my young pal Ashley Heath (whom I met a handful of years ago at my then-regular open mic and who is, as they say, the real deal) and her band entered and WON the best new band contest! They went on to slay a 30-minute set between the evening headliners (Sam Bush, followed by Jim and Buddy and the North Mississippi All-Stars). What a thrill it was to walk among the huge festival crowd, under a full Carolina moon, and feel the surge electricity among the people—watching my friend on the 3 giant screens doing her thing, counting her lucky stars, and having a ball. Look her up, folks... Whoa doggie, that was fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jedzep Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 ...and you didn't invite me? Now my feelings are hurt. That's OK, Anne. I hate to travel. Do you subscribe to Sirius radio? Buddy and Jim have a stellar interview/music discussion show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-28 Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Anne, if this is your friend I will look her up after church this morning. She has a beautiful voice. Live music is the best. Tommy E is a killer player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnneS Posted April 29, 2018 Author Share Posted April 29, 2018 Awesome day. Hey Anne, is it this one ? That’s her. She plays out solo as well as with the band (of which there are varying combinations of 4-5 members). She released her sophomore album earlier this month; she’s got a world of talent (probably 80% of what she performs is original) and a package of skills to keep her moving forward. All of that earned her yesterday’s reward; now, if Buddy (who went on minutes after and who could not have NOT hear Ashley’s set), took notice, too— why, that’s the stuff lucky breaks are made of. If not Buddy, someone else. I told her, when I heard her first iterations of Same Old Blue a year or two ago, that I thought it might become her signature song. Still think so. It works equally well when she does it solo or with the band or, here, with the backing of an award-winning Nashville guitar player: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
