Ashleigh Chevalier releases next single at
The Birchmere opening for
Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes,
December 27, 2014. 

AChevalier Press 2014
Alexandria, VA, December 16 , 2014 — In February 2014,
Ashleigh Chevalier’s debut album, From the Soles, produced by
Grammy and Wammie winner, Jon Carroll, was on the ballot for
album of year in the Contemporary Folk genre at The Wammies
(The Washington Area Music Association’s annual music awards).
It is recording time again, and Chevalier is ready to release her next single when she opens for Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes at America’s legendary music hall, The Birchmere, Saturday, December 27, 2014.

Chevalier joined forces with recognized D.C. talents to produce her single, “Hold on to the Light.”  The uplifting blues-gospel style track features Jon Carroll (Mary Chapin Carpenter, Starland Vocal Band) on organ, piano, and vocals, Ron Holloway (Warren Haynes, Ron Holloway Band) on tenor saxophone, and Bruce Middle on guitar and slide guitar. Paul Frields laid the bass and Toby Fairchild (Keller Williams & More Than a Little) laid the drums. The track will be available for free via download card to all who attend the show at The Birchmere.

The single is a track off her up and coming album, 5×5, scheduled for release in March 2015. 5×5 will highlight the same cast of characters, and is guaranteed to showcase Chevalier’s genre bending vocals and songwriting.

“The first album was a collection of my original music exploring different vocal stylings and genres I perform in. 5×5 focuses on my rock and blues roots, from my stripped down acoustic songwriting, to full on rock band
collaborative jamming .”

At The Birchmere, Chevalier will perform a duo set with Bruce Middle, dubbed The Chameleon for his uniquely diverse guitar performances. Songs will include original work off Chevalier’s last album and her upcoming release.

“It is an incredible honor to play such a historic stage, and to open for a hard drivin’ act like Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes. I am beyond excited just to feel the space, to sing in it!” Chevalier enthuses.

Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes headline The Birchmere, Saturday, December 27, 2014. Ashleigh Chevalier and Bruce Middle open. Show is at 7:30. Doors at 6p.m. Tickets available at Ticketmaster AND HERE.

Friends!

Happy Thanksgiving! LOTS to be thankful for.
Like, Breathing.
Seriously. Take a deep breath.
Refreshing.

a few things…

FIRST, for holiday cheer… check out this AMAZING video my friend Hunter Christy put together with his crew, The Big Honkin’.  Beyond the collective cinemagraphic talent of this trio, is the musical genius, who composed the entire musical score. (ahem… Hunter….)

NEXT!

Who: THE FREEWAY REVIVAL 
What: CD RELEASE: OVER THE MOUNTAIN 
Where: The State Theater at Culpeper

WAHOOOOO!

These guys are brilliant. I have been listening to them for years… and now, they release their sophomore album. Over the Mountain, produced by John Ryan (Allman Brothers, Styx, Santana), was recorded in Los Angeles earlier this year! Jorgen Carlsson (Gov’t Mule) played bass on the album.

The trio put together a killer release, featuring guests: international tenor sax legend, Ron Holloway and  renowned drummer Toby Fairchild. I had the distinct pleasure of singing with them as well. Here is a video of “Helpin’ Hand”, an original tune written and performed by The Freeway Revival LIVE at The State Theater in Culpeper. Guests, Ron Holloway and myself. Every time we jam I feel like I have come home.

GET THE ALBUM! GO SEE THEM LIVE! FIND THEM ON FACEBOOK! RIGHT NOW! 😀 
(you can click the links…they will bring you to Freeway Revival on Facebook and iTunes)
