Thursday Local Live Music: Ash Chambliss & Laura Blackley

The Scoop

Originally from Merritt Island, FL, Ashley Chambliss has been playing music since childhood, played her first professional gig at a New Hampshire piano bar in 1994, and has been part of the music scene in Asheville, NC since 1996. With ebbs and flows, as life happens, including some time at ‘Berklee College of Music’, earning a bachelor’s in philosophy at WCU, and being a mother to an awesome kid, music has always been central. Chambliss has performed at Bele Chere, LEAF, Thomas Wolfe Auditorium, and ‘The Grey Eagle Music Hall’ where she’s opened for acts including Ben Taylor, Duncan Sheik, and Ari Hest. Regionally, she’s made musical moments happen at ‘Eddie’s Attic’ (shootout top 3),and Charlotte’s ‘The Evening Muse’. Her songs have a meaningful audience on Spotify, YouTube, and other streaming services and have been placed in popular TV shows such as 'Skins’ UK series, MTV’s 'The Hills', 'One Life to Live', ‘So You Think You Can Dance/Canada’, as well as other indie film and dance projects..
