A. King Can Sing

Her guitar gently weeps, and her violin smiles sad melodies across strata of music. Sleight jazz hides under waves of a present guiding bassline, often times running from wisps and whistles to climbing a wall built of organ pipes, distorted amps, and bent keys competing with A. King's less-than-mellow-while-still-spot-on voice.

Weaving spot on melodies between her six strings with pent energy, Ashley wraps softly haunting lyrics around an energetically crying violin on her track "You Don't Mind". A tambourine chases her violent strum that keeps you at the edge of your headphones till a break of echoes charms your ear like a surrounding line of smoke tip-toeing through delay before crashing back into a burst and end.

Drawn to the Northwest following a brick road of family and friends, A. King's saintly spirit will fit right in in Portlandtown!

A. King's next show: February 9th @ Ash Street Saloon
