Ashley Ray

Ashley Ray is a Nashville-based singer/songwriter. Her latest release, Animal, tells Ray’s story — and every woman’s story — from the waking epiphany that we are stuck in a life we cannot inhabit, through the transition of loneliness and the gathering of courage, to the triumph of stepping into alignment with our truest nature. With this album, Ray is pushing back against being the ideal and exalting the real. Being a woman who can say, “Get out of my heart and get into my bed,” Ray is calling to the women who are going through these things alone. She wants to be a voice for women who have been taught to distrust their gut, their internal knowing. Ray is saying, “Your gut is God” — that is her message to her daughters and those who hear her music.
