Just below the Arctic Circle, in the heart of her Ancestral land in Alaska, songwriter Ashley Young captivates with her fiery, lush vocals. With a warmth that feels like a conversation with an old friend, she invites listeners into her world of honesty and infectious laughter. Her music defies genre, driven by an unquenchable curiosity and a desire to explore vulnerable truths that many shy away from discussing. From whispered confessions to powerful, soaring belting, her dynamic performances are best described as “journal rock,” where every note tells a personal story. Her melodies can silence a room, while her laughter fills it with life.
On the DIY circuit, Ashley is gearing up for her fourth west coast tour in spring 2025. She and her band have shared the stage with acclaimed acts like Australian future soul band Hiatus Kaiyote, Grammy Award-winners Portugal. The Man, and Medium Build. They’ve also graced the main stages of Áak’w Rock Indigenous Music Festival and Sundown Solstice Festival. With every performance, Ashley continues to shine a spotlight on Alaska’s vibrant independent music scene.
