"To Be Dreaming"The North Carolina-based singer/songwriter Ashley Virginia's style falls somewhere between '70s country cool and west coast cosmic Americana. Like the spiritual daughter of Stevie Nicks and Gram Parsons, visually, Ashley Virginia is one of the most distinct and innovative artists you're likely to meet. But fashion aside, Ashley Virginia's music is as cosmic as her clothing—an arresting blend of indie folk, experimental country and '60s pop, her debut album And Life Just Goes On Living is a stirring first effort that marks the arrival of a major talent. Her voice is rich and emotive, her lyrics are heartfelt and honest and her songs are brave and bold.  From being tear gassed by Raleigh police during a peaceful assembly during the George Floyd protests to her own mental health, Ashley Virginia presents the unvarnished truth of the world and the raw and sometimes unsettling state of the human soul. In this conversation, Ashley talks to Alex about weddings, fashion, and the perspective of having a 9-5 job in the music business. She also opens up about mental health and why being onstage is one of the most comfortable places for her in the world.www.ashleyvirginiamusic.com www.bombshellradio.com www.alexgreenonline.comStereo Embers On Twitter: @emberseditorStereo Embers On Instagram:  @emberspodcastEMAIL: editor@stereoembersmagazine.com

Stereo Embers The Podcast: Ashley Virginia

I spoke to my friend Ashley Virginia, a musician I met on Tik Tok who is childhood friends with Taylor Wafford ( Episode 102).  Virginia hails from from Greensboro, North Carolina. Ashley Virginia’s style has been described to as bold, unapologetic, and critically vulnerable. Sharing the deeply intimate and terrifying pieces of herself is an important part of her creative process. Ashley started songwriting at a young age as a therapeutic practice and a means of escape, turning to songwriting to express emotions not so easily expressed in mere words. She believes art should be used as a tool for political action and self expression. In our conversation we discuss Ashley's work-music-life balance, her writing process in 2020, and her upcoming record, learn more on Dreams Not Memes.  Social Links  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/1XWViw9zm7w5fSy5jOg978?si=TXU7eHb_TvCQaCnKSE-0YQ Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/ashleyvirginia.music/?hl=en FB: https://www.facebook.com/ashleyvirginia.music Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ashleyvirginia/support-ashley-virginias-debut-album   Friends of Ashley Mentioned in the Episode  Quilla - @quillamusic  Molly McGinn - @busterdilly  Mark Dillon - @folkyd @alexeimejouev @aroundtownsessions  ---   Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/dreamsnotmemes/support
