About Ashley Monroe
Ashley Monroe released her critically-acclaimed album Like A Rose, co-produced by 20-time GRAMMY award-winner Vince Gill and Justin Niebank, earlier this year. Monroe co-wrote the entire album working with the legendary Hall of Fame songwriter Guy Clark as well as many of Nashville's A-list songwriters. Creating music for more than half of her life – attracting kudos along the way from some of music’s finest contemporaries such as Dolly Parton and Jack White – her new, full-length album release serves both to fill in the back-story and impart to us who she is today. At times her songs are dead serious, at others utterly hilarious, but always Monroe is an original with a compelling story to share. Named one of People’s “10 Best Albums (so far)” along with being called “the first great album of the year,” by Washington Post, Monroe’s Like A Rose also received stunning 4 out of 4 star reviews from USA Today and Rolling Stone.
