Ashley McNally has been described by HERE magazine as the "curly haired little sprite" who "plays a mean guitar."  

Originally from the Grand Falls area of New Brunswick, Ashley now resides in downtown Moncton.

Ashley's sound could be described as folky grassroots with ethereal piscean undertones...with a big ole swig of  "dirty whiskey country" and a dash of funky jazz.  There's little point in trying to peg her down into a single category. To her family, friends and fans, Ashley is her own genre.

Check back here often for the latest songs and updates.  She aims to release her first album in 2014.

2016: This year, I plan to release a few thematic LPs of original folk/americana songs.

2013: The (Half) Year of Jazz. Like Project 52 Songs, I intended to post one song per week - the difference being that these were all to be jazz standards. However, life got in the way, so I had to stop this project after about four months. http://yearofjazz.wordpress.com/

2012: "The Robot". The album is best described as experimental-vocaloid-folktronica with a touch of ambient. The album is available for name-your-price download at the-robot.bandcamp.com.

2011: Project 52 Songs: I spend this year writing, recording, and producing a song each week. I was thrilled to be made "SoundClouder of the Day" (#SCOTD) during this project. Many of the songs are still available here.

In addition to this work, my folk/protest album, “Traitor” was released on August 9, 2011. It is available at iTunes: http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/traitor/id455176631

Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to check out my profile and listen to some of my tunes. Music and guitar has been an integral part of my life for over 30 years now (wow, how time flies!). In that time I have made some records way back in the days of vinyl on some iconic American indi labels, was a part of the Los Angeles underground music scene of the early 80's and toured extensively all over the country a few times. I have played everything from punk, rock, to classical and praise and bluegrass. I think its amazing how interests and influences evolve over time. I've been playing bluegrass and folk for around two years now and really enjoy the challenge and musical rewards that it provides. I also just recently started playing the mandolin and am excited about a new dimension to my music and songwriting. Music is a part of me and I couldn't imagine a day going by without it. These are just a sampling of my songs, I have many more not posted here. Thanks again for your time, feel free to leave any comments and I hope that you enjoy my music.
