Artist Information
Ashland Craft is a fearless country artist with soul-bearing storytelling and undeniable grit. Raised in Piedmont, South Carolina, she cut her teeth in honky-tonks and dive bars, building the raw voice, swagger, and work ethic that define her sound. Deeply influenced by her roots - and artists like Chris Stapleton, Bonnie Raitt, The Chicks, Sheryl Crow, and even Def Leppard - Craft blends classic country storytelling with southern rock edge and modern attitude.
A CMT Next Women of Country honoree and Pandora Country Artist to Watch, Craft first made waves with her acclaimed 2021 debut Travelin’ Kind, released after her Top 10 finish on NBC’s The Voice. Praised by American Songwriter as “a new country badass” with “star quality flying out of her boots,” she’s earned a reputation for equal parts sass, strength, and authenticity.
Her self-produced album Dive Bar Beauty Queen is a love letter to the bars and back roads that shaped her, featuring road-tested anthems like current radio single “Kick Rocks Cowboy.” Craft has shared the stage with artists including Marcus King, Zac Brown Band, Ashley McBryde, Brothers Osborne, Luke Combs, and Morgan Wallen, and has recently toured with Cody Johnson, Tucker Wetmore, and Luke Bryan. Honest, loud, and unapologetically real, Ashland Craft is carving her own lane in modern country music.
