Born and raised in Lawrence, Kansas, Ashley Ray has written songs for artists like Little Big Town, Lori McKenna, Sean McConnell, Wade Bowen, Charles Kelly (Lady Antebellum) and Caroline Spence. Alongside friend and fellow artist, Sean McConnell, the two pinned the current Little Big Town single, The Daughters with LBT’s own Karen Fairchild.  Ashley’s newest album, Pauline, translates like a memoir, she writes about her home, family, the people she’s lost, decisions and dreams with the kind of grace that only comes with embracing who you are – and then summoning the courage to share it.  Pauline was released in early 2020 to critical acclaim and NPR featured her in it’s coveted Tiny Desk Concert series to close out the year.

A classic whodunnit dinner. You can choose to be a starring character or just a bystander, you’ll have a blast either way!

Blood, Sweat & Tears is not the first band to ever use a horn section, but they are the first to fuse it with rock, jazz, and some blues just for good measure. From the first ensemble in the late 60’s practicing in a loft on Bleeker Street in New York’s Greenwich Village and having crowds clapping on the street below between songs, founding member and drummer Bobby Colomby knew they were on the right course. Since then, the band has never stopped touring for over 50 years.

Blood Sweat & Tears has had many firsts. They are the first rock band to tour behind the former Iron Curtain and the first rock band to play Las Vegas. Blood Sweat & Tears has had many configurations over its 50-plus years of touring but one thing for sure is that the music is timeless, and fans are never disappointed.
