The city that never sleeps…
Empty sidewalks, empty streets,
Out on your fire escape alone
It’s enough to chill you to the bone.
Far and wide the sirens sweep.
You draw a breath, then start to weep.
Will sunrise ever feel the same?
Will they ever say your name?Pray the lion and the lamb
Lay together on the land,
A child to lead them on
To take them by the hand.
We're all longing for some peace…
Yeah, some kind of sweet relief -
She prays the Lord our souls to keep
On a bed of clouds, she sleeps.Where do we go from here?
Colliding with our dread and fear?
Oh say, can you still see?
I hear her crying, liberty.Pray the lion and the lamb
Lay together on the land,
A child to lead them on
To take them by the hand.
We're all longing for some peace…
Yeah, some kind of sweet relief -
She prays the lord our souls to keep

The Lion And The Lamb

With what PopMatters describes as "tenacious swagger," critically-acclaimed solo artist Ashleigh Flynn recently dialed up the volume and debuted an all-female rock band as a nod to the “Rosie the Riveter” archetype from WWII.

 

Flynn grew up in Kentucky and cut her teeth on local bluegrass music and Motown. A prolific songwriter and performer blessed with unbridled charisma, she arrived on the Americana scene in 2008 with the release of her third LP, American Dream, a poetic lament to the elusiveness of that national ethos. A Million Stars followed in 2013 – a rollicking journey celebrating the women pioneers of the American West.

 

Ashleigh Flynn & The Riveters’ inaugural LP hit the streets in 2018 featuring a sound that hearkens back to early Stones, ‘70s psychedelic country rock, and alternately charms like a Sunday afternoon front porch session. Produced by her longtime musical collaborator, Chris Funk of the Decemberists, the 10 original tracks feature Flynn’s soulful vocals and compelling brand of songwriting, amped-up and virtuously enveloped by the electric guitar work of Nancy Luca and Jenny Conlee on all manner of keys. Luca honed her style and skill playing with Tom Petty and Bo Diddley. Conlee hails from the Decemberists as well. The rhythm section boasts two additional highly-regarded Portland musicians: Jolie Clausen on drums and Carmen Paradise on bass.

 

 

"… Accumulates into an amazingly creative and original juxtaposition of rock, country, vigour, and sass."

– Fervor Coulee

Since self-releasing on Flynn’s label, Home Perm Records, the Oregon-based band has barnstormed the Western US – steadily building their audience and live sound along the way. Multi-state coastal runs and swings through mountain cities were highlighted by sellout shows with the Amy Ray Band in Missoula and Salt Lake, an intimate evening with the HawtThorns at legendary McCabe’s Guitar Shop in LA, and a set for the ages on Easter Sunday at the Grand Ol’ Echo on Sunset Blvd. Prominent festival appearances at Kate Wolf, Oregon Country Fair and Missoula River Roots saw the band road-tested, joyously ripping, and rounding out the summer of 2019 swinging for the fences.

 

 

“Ashleigh Flynn & the Riveters laid down one of the best sets of this year’s festival with tight, professional rollicking Americana that defies geography. From the soul of the City to the call from the Holler, you won’t find a better band.”

–  Brian Keogh, Mainstage Coordinator, Oregon Country Fair

 

 

The Riveters are poised to continue honing their craft as a band of highly adept song assemblers who put on one hell of a show – holding up the reality that chicks shred just as hard as dudes. The band will take their unique brand of Americana back out on the road as 2021 permits. They expect to re-enter the studio to record their sophomore album later this year as well.
